Full of [sneezing portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam), it is a good thing this action is not like a yawn or else viewers would be following suit left, right and center. Hilarious and at times disgusting, namely the images that involve [spit spraying out of mouths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saline-nasal-sprays), Bless You by Ulf Lundin offers a unique glimpse at the varying expressions involved in the big sneeze. From sticking out tongues to loose lips, one thing all of these participants have in common is a severely scrunched up face. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sneeze Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative techniques for capturing sneeze moments in photography, creating a new niche in the photography industry. - **Expressive Facial Portraits:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore technologies to analyze and interpret facial expressions in portraits, enabling new applications in fields like psychology and marketing. - **Humor in Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine humor and photography through creative storytelling, opening up new possibilities for advertising and entertainment industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology advancements like AI and AR into photography for enhanced image capture and editing, revolutionizing the industry. - **Psychology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop tools and services that leverage facial expression analysis for psychological evaluations and therapy, transforming the mental health industry. - **Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize comedic and unconventional approaches in advertising campaigns, engaging audiences and challenging traditional advertising norms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sickness-Fighting AI Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mucus-masher.md) - [Scientifically-Accurate Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-microbiology.md) - [Booger-Inspired Immune Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boogie-bites-candy.md) - [Pocket-Sized Nasal Inhalers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snufff.md) - [Mucus Mascot Dating Profiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mucinex-no-regrets.md) - [Romantic Allergy Medication Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astepro-allergy-campaign.md) - [Designer Tissue Box Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scotties-and-house-home.md) - [Trustworthy Nasal Care Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nasal-care-products.md) - [Health-Focused Scavenger Hunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mucinex-scavenger-hunt.md)
