# Contemporary Olympian Captures James Doherty by Bell Soto Celebrates Athleticism By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-09-08 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-doherty-by-bell-soto References: [homotography.blogspot](http://homotography.blogspot.com/2011/09/james-doherty-by-bell-soto.html) & [bellsoto](http://www.bellsoto.com/) In some respects, it is incredible to think of just how little art has changed in over 2000 years. When I look at these photos of James Doherty by Bell Soto, I see modernized images from painted Roman amphoras. The [exceedingly muscular male model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatomic-denim) is captured mid-motion in these snapshots, exuding all of the strength and agility of an [ancient Olympian](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oikos-pros). Looking fit enough to have have run from the battle of Marathon in record time, this brawny jock has built the ideal body for himself. The lucky observer gets to appreciate the flexing of every bulge in James Doherty by Bell Soto. With four photos rendered in a poised monochrome and two in revealing warm tones, the [graceful nude form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nina-chanel-abney-bravo) of the subject is classically attractive. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 86% | 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) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Athleticism in Art:** Opportunities for artists to modernize and digitize depictions of athleticism in visual media. - **Bodybuilding Culture:** Innovative businesses catering to the bodybuilding and fitness industry with nutrition and training plans. - **Fitness Photography:** A growing market for professional photography services capturing the fit and muscular human body in dynamic poses. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Visual Arts:** Innovation in traditional painting and sculpture techniques to depict the athletic human form in modern media. - **Health and Fitness:** Innovation in nutritional supplements and training programs geared toward bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts. - **Photography:** Rising demand for specialized fitness photography and videography services related to bodybuilding and other fitness activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Raw Sports Emotion Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-exhibition.md) - [Black-Tonal Olympian Denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-kinetic-denim.md) - [Iconic Gym Apparel Revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onyx-collection.md) - [Athlete-Approved Jewelry Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curb-chain-collection.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [High-Performance Women's Activewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legendary-capsule-collection.md) - [Bright Celebratory Olympic Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-2024-1.md) - [Reinvented Fitness Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-to-move.md) - [Luxury Fashion Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-sculpture.md)
