Creative Digital Production - Visual Trends

My task on the face of things seems to be a pretty one. Although once looked into deeper, the task is not a one-off but a constantly ongoing one.

To keep up to date with any genres 'current trend' is potentially a full-time job for a photographer. Not only do we have to make sure we're current but we must also anticipate what the market is going to do next.
Genre's such as Fashion or Wildlife have more definite times for change, in the way that there's Spring /  Summer and Autumn / Winter for Fashion. Also in Wildlife there's mating and migrating seasons.
This gives us a heads up for our subject change but what also must change is the style in which the images are taken.

Through this blog I will not only research the transition between visual trends when it comes to the style of image but also the equipment that is used. I will look into the taking of the photograph through to the production of the image. whether it be digital or printed.
