Summer Photography Trends To Expect in 2022

Summer is just around the corner. Get a head start on preparing for this bustling season by exploring the top summer photography trends to expect in 2022. We’ll go over four of this year’s expected trends below.

Bold and Bright Colors

Bold, vibrant colors are in this summer. According to Pantone, 2022’s hot season will be marked by hues like gossamer pink, dahlia purple, harbor blue, and poinciana red. Mixed with tempered core summer classics like snow white, basil, and poppy seed gray, these dynamic shades are sure to stand out and make your photos pop.

Naturalistic Elements

The next summer photography trend to expect in 2022 is embracing nature. Summer is the season when Mother Nature is at her most lively, so it’s only natural that earthy elements trend during this lush season. You can incorporate nature into your photos in various ways, from shooting outdoors to using natural colors and materials and nature-themed backdrops.

Capturing Nostalgia

We can’t return to bygone eras, but with the help of cleverly used backdrops, props, and filters, we can pretend we’ve traveled back in time! We’ve all gone through a phase where we wished we could time travel. “Boy, I was born in the wrong era,” we think, longing for the retro aesthetic of the 80s or the rustic simplicity of the medieval era.

This summer, nostalgic photography is on-trend. Make your clients feel like a prim Victorian noble, a fierce Viking warrior, a classy diner waitress, or whatever else they yearn to be by using your photo-taking skills to recreate the past.

Group Shots

Nobody wants to spend their summer break alone. Summer is the time to hang out with friends and family and have fun! Expect to see a lot of groups in your studio this summer. From silly shots to commemorate a vacation to classic family photos to share on social media, groups of family and friends will have all sorts of interesting requests to challenge you. Make sure you’re prepared for this influx of clients by stocking up on props and other essential items!
