Now, Jinushi is back with another guide showing how to make it look like you're [kissing someone in a picture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light) all by yourself. Just like in the first photos, Jinushi uses a couple clever details like applying foundation and nail polish to make his own hands appear more feminine. This time, he uses a wig to make it look like there's an actual girl in the photos and he places his hands so that it looks like she's touching his face. These photos require a tripod and if you're brave enough to set up a [photoshoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-headshot-generator) to show off your new "girlfriend," you should probably be prepared to get some weird stares. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fake Relationship Photography:** There is an opportunity for creating more elaborate and realistic images of fake relationships using special effects and editing software. - **Virtual Reality Photography:** Virtual Reality technology can be used to create immersive fake relationship scenarios for individuals who do not want to use real people for photography or videography purposes. - **AI-assisted Photography:** Artificial Intelligence tools can be used to create realistic images of fake relationships by analyzing existing images of real people and mapping facial and body features realistically. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography Industry:** Photographers and photo studios can enhance their offerings by incorporating fake relationship photography services as a niche area of specialization. - **Marketing Industry:** Brands and advertisers can use fake relationship photography to create campaigns that are more relatable to targeted audiences and augment their brand storytelling. - **Entertainment Industry:** Film and television studios can leverage fake relationship photography in the creation of romantic scenes and plotlines that are not limited by real-life constraints or celebrity schedules. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Self-Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai.md) - [Functional Gingerbread Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-camera.md) - [AI Dating Photo Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-dating-photo-generator.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [AI Headshot Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbrush-studio.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [AI Dating Photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dating-photo-ai1.md) - [Realistic AI-Generated Headshots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headgen-ai.md) - [Ex-Partner Erasing Image Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/okcupid-and-photoroom.md)
