From soccer and football to runners and baseball players, this series covers a wide range of athletes. In one of these epic sports-focused shots, a fully suited [football player](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we-are-football) shakes the ground he’s playing on and sends boulders and dirt flying in every direction. In another shot, a baseball player is holding a bat and standing under a street light in a way that makes it look like he has a shining halo around his head. Breie captures most of these sporty figures in motion. One shot features a [soccer player](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccerthemed-illustrations) getting hit in the face with a ball, and another features [a runner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-sportswear-brand-film) jumping up onto a building platform. In each interesting capture, Breie uses light to make these athletes look more heroic or godly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Heroic Sports Photography:** Opportunity for creative sports photographers to capture athletes in a godly and invincible kind of light. - **Action-heavy Athlete Portraits:** Opportunity for photographers to capture athlete's movements in a way that highlights their physical abilities and performance. - **Artistic Sports Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to use lighting and an artistic approach to make sports photography more engaging and intriguing. ### Where This Applies - **Sports Photography:** Disruptive innovation in sports photography by capturing athletes in a new light and using creative angles. - **Sports Apparel and Equipment:** Opportunity for sports attire and equipment manufacturers to collaborate with creative photographers in showcasing their products in an innovative and creative way. - **Sports Marketing:** Opportunity for sports marketing firms to present athletes as heroes and idols, thereby attracting a wider audience and increasing revenue. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Football Series Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/football-series.md) - [Athlete-Inspired AI Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angelai.md) - [Creative Eerie-Themed Soccer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good.md) - [Motivational Athlete Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-you-got-this.md) - [Content Creator-Inspired Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/never-break-your-flow.md) - [Gaming Style Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-x-martine-rose-campaign.md) - [Horror-Inspired Sports Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good-campaign.md) - [Immersive Sports Supplies Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegas-sports.md) - [Bold Sports Apparel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we-got-now-1.md)
