The image of these [disturbingly morphed faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness) will more than likely deter people from wanting to experience the same. Granted, the photos are incredibly hilariously and slightly unreal. Shot by Tadao Cern, a [photographer and artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith) based in Vilnius, Lithuania, the Blow Job 2012 photo series looks more painful than it actually is. From wrinkled skin to widened mouths and [erratic hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask), everyone has many of the same features. Nevertheless, the Blow Job 2012 photo series does play on people's personalities as well. Some are caught in mid-laughter, others are trying to withstand the wind and still others are simply submitting to it resignedly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gale-force Wind Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to experiment with shooting subjects in a windy environment to create unique and memorable portraits. - **Face Morphing Technology:** Innovation in software that can morph faces to create interesting and amusing visual effects in images or videos. - **Humor and Playfulness in Art:** Growing trend in the art world towards incorporating humor and playfulness in artwork to engage and entertain viewers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Photographers can offer specialized services to clients looking for unique and creative portraits through experimenting with wind photography. - **Software Development:** Innovative software companies can create face morphing applications for use in various industries including entertainment and marketing. - **Art and Design:** Artists can explore the use of humor and playfulness in their work as a way to engage with a wider audience and differentiate themselves in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Viral Face Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface.md) - [Stylized Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-to-all.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Emotive Inflatable Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lian-mask.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md)
