# Bike Racing Photography Emily Maye Captures Cyclists and Spectators at the Belgian Cyclocross By Meghan Young | Published 2013-01-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emily-maye References: [itsnicethat](http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/emily-maye-belgian-cyclocross) & [emilymaye](http://emilymaye.com/) Photographer Emily Maye shows a different side to the [sport of cycling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usa-cyclings-esports-competitions). Documenting the [Belgian Cyclocross race](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmx-team), she shoots [candid images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) that really capture the energy generated by the racers and spectators alike. A captivating series, it appropriately focuses on the action rather than pretentiously trying to artistically tell a story. Emily Maye reveals, “I want to give a sense of what it’s like to be at a race in person." She especially loves the community involved in such events. Living and working in Los Angeles, California, Emily Maye definitely exudes a passion for cycling, as her portfolio proves. Although she doesn't consider herself a cyclist, only riding for recreational reasons, Emily Maye has extensive knowledge about professional cycling as well as the history of the sport. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Candid Sports Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to capture the raw energy and emotion of sports events through candid and authentic images. - **Emphasizing Action in Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for photographers to focus on capturing the dynamic and intense moments in sports events rather than traditional storytelling. - **Community-centered Event Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to highlight the sense of community and engagement in events, offering a more immersive experience to viewers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for photographers to explore new techniques and approaches to capture sports events in an authentic and compelling way. - **Sports and Athletics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for sports organizations to leverage candid and action-focused photography to enhance fan engagement and promote events. - **Event Management and Marketing:** Opportunity for event management professionals to collaborate with photographers who can showcase the community and energy of events to attract more attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artist-Envisioned Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-collaboration-series.md) - [Cycling Enthusiast Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thecyclingcollective.md) - [Cycling Race Travel Itineraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ef-adventures1.md) - [Collaborative Artistic Bicycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-carson.md) - [Bold Mountain Biking Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amlie-graef.md) - [Colorful Cycling Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-together.md) - [Macho Plant-Based Drink Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatly-and-ef-pro-cycling.md) - [Raw Sports Emotion Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-exhibition.md) - [Bike-Mounted Cyclist Safety Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-camera.md)
