# Licking Dog Portraits Photographer Ty Foster Captures Different Dogs in Mid-Lick By David Ingram | Published 2015-10-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ty-foster References: [fastcocreate](http://www.fastcocreate.com/3052039/gaze-upon-the-slobbery-faces-of-91-dogs-from-lick-photographer-ty-foster?partner=rss&utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [tyfoster](http://www.tyfoster.com/PROJECTS/LICK/thumbs) The premise behind dog photographer and enthusiast Ty Foster's latest photo project was a relatively simple one -- give a dog a scoop of peanut butter and take a picture. Of course it wasn't that overly simple, but nonetheless the end result is a charming collection of 91 different [dog portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom) captured in the middle of licking away a sticky peanut butter treat. The collection has actually now been put together with [Knock Knock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ottogi-2) publishing for a photo book project simply titled 'Lick.' Ty Foster was inspired to take on this interesting endeavor during a photoshoot for a client whose dog was becoming disinterested in the shoot. After giving the dog a treat of peanut butter, he captured the canine's humorous reaction, and decided the charming outtakes were good enough to repeat with a wide variety of other dogs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pet Photography:** The trend of capturing unique and charming photos of pets, like Ty Foster's dog portraits, provides opportunities for photographers to offer specialized pet photography services. - **Unique Animal Portraits:** The trend of creating unconventional animal portraits, such as dogs in mid-lick, opens up opportunities for artists and photographers to showcase their creativity and capture unique moments. - **Interactive Photo Books:** The trend of creating interactive photo books, like Ty Foster's 'Lick' project, presents opportunities for publishers to engage readers with interactive and visually captivating content. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** The photography industry has the potential to capitalize on the trend of capturing unique and charming photos of pets, like Ty Foster's dog portraits. - **Art:** The art industry can embrace the trend of creating unconventional animal portraits, such as dogs in mid-lick, to attract and engage art enthusiasts. - **Publishing:** The publishing industry can explore the trend of creating interactive photo books, like Ty Foster's 'Lick' project, to deliver unique and immersive reading experiences to their audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human-Inspired Dog Butters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peamutt-squeezy.md) - [Influencer Dog Treat Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/influencer-dog-treat-collection.md) - [Lickable Dog Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lickable-supplements-for-dogs.md) - [Squeezable Dog Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squeezable-dog-treat.md) - [Hand-Decorated Dog Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woofkies.md) - [Dog-Friendly Peanut Butters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-for-dogs.md) - [Dog-Friendly Peanut Butter Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-bone-x-jif-peanut-butter.md) - [Pet-Friendly Peanut Butters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddy-budder.md) - [Squeezable Pet Peanut Butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bark-bistro.md)
