Our Visual Insights Webinar was a huge success, thanks to incredible speakers like Shane Ginsberg, Chief Brand Officer at Mach49 🙌 In this snippet, Shane unpacks the true meaning of authenticity and why a word we’re all a little too familiar with still holds so much relevance. When stripped back to its true meaning, it’s clear why creatives are rejecting polished perfection for raw emotion, the beauty of imperfection, and—yes—authenticity.

Flawed. Awkward. Unapologetically real. Bad Form is one of five trends featured in this year’s Stocksy Visual Insights Report. It’s all about: ▪️ Wide angles that distort and surprise ▪️ Lo-fi production tools that embrace imperfection ▪️ Compositions that tell raw, intimate stories This trend challenges everything we thought we knew about “good art and design.” It’s messy, unconventional, and exactly what the creative world needs.
