# Cheerleader Photodocumentaries Life Magazine Photographer Studies Cutest Cheerleaders By Cowbag | Published 2009-08-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-magazine-cheerleader-ronald-martinez References: [life](http://www.life.com/image/85425205/in-gallery/25572/37-cute-cheerleaders) This gallery from Ronald Martinez over at [Life Magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-ad-life-insurance) is all about cheerleaders. The result, as you might expect, is a large gallery of mainly blonde female cheerleaders. This awesomely sexist approach is forgotten when you start to look at the actual images themselves. Ronald Martinez's [photographs of cheerleaders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-editions) are some of the best I have seen of any sport, and they show the extreme skill it takes to be a cheerleader. Point proven, clearly you can’t just be a pretty face to be a cheerleader. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Athletic Photodocumentaries:** Documenting athletes and their sports in a beautiful and artistic way, providing a new perspective on sports photography. - **Gender Diversity in Cheerleading:** Acknowledging the presence of male cheerleaders and featuring their skills in cheerleading photodocumentaries. - **Authentic Representation in Cheerleading:** Shifting from conventional depictions of cheerleaders to portray the variety of body types, ethnicities, and skin tones in cheerleading through photodocumentaries. ### Where This Applies - **Photography Industry:** Building a network of photographers who specialize in artistic sports photography, opening up new opportunities for showcasing the talents of athletes. - **Sports Apparel Industry:** Creating greater variety in sportswear options, acknowledging the presence of male cheerleaders, and featuring the diversity of body types and ethnicities in advertising. - **Marketing and Advertising Industry:** Redefining the conventional depictions of cheerleaders in advertising and marketing campaigns to represent authenticity in body types, gender, and ethnicity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sport Makeup Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeup-partner.md) - [Performance-Driven Cheerleading Equipment Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerleading-equipment.md) - [Female Athlete-Fronted Luxury Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-x-wnba-campaign.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Motivational AI Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerleader-ai.md) - [Rapid Photo Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-minute-photos.md) - [Retro Doll-Themed Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-film-camera.md) - [Empowering Female Athlete Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-and-sports-illustrated.md) - [Unretouched Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-reimagine-beauty.md)
