The photographers first discovered the toilet when they moved into what was formerly a bank and founded Ducktape Studios. Over drinks one night, Grotenhuis and Marselje got the idea to shoot a series of photos using the cubicles. In the extravagant and humorously-staged [photo shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-changes-everything), the two use the toilets as a crane-catcher machine while buried under a mountain of stuffed toys, as World War II soldiers under siege, as pant-less news and weather anchors, as well as scuba divers, with one of the brother wading inside one of the toilets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Toilet Photography Trend:** There is an opportunity for companies to create installations in public restrooms such as those in airports or shopping centers that allow visitors to take photos. - **Toilet Humor Trend:** Companies can leverage humor in their advertising campaigns by creating funny moments centered around the toilet. - **Personalized Toilet Paper Trend:** There is an opportunity for companies to utilize printing technology to add personalized messages or images to toilet paper. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography Industry:** Professional photographers can expand their services to include creative bathroom-themed photoshoots. - **Advertising Industry:** Ad agencies can create campaigns that inject humor into everyday scenarios that include toilets. - **Printing Industry:** Printing companies can expand their offerings by incorporating personalized toilet paper into their product line. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artfully Sculptured Textured Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-formation-02.md) - [Illuminated Public Artful Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiroo-east-park.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Light-Filled Public Restrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivid-toilet-interior.md) - [Toilet Health Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dekoda-camera.md) - [Martian Toilet Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martian-toilet.md) - [Brutalist Smart Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formation-02.md) - [Enclosed Japanese Park Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletowa.md) - [Festival-Focused Toilet-Sharing Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-toilet.md)
