New York-based photographer Howard Schatz captures the diverse range of body types of the World’s best athletes. Referring to a body as an athletic build is often thought to be a perfect, rippling mass of muscle boasting a six pack, but Schatz’s series reveals the wide variety of heights, widths, body shapes, and muscle mass that make up the physiques of champion athletes across an array of Olympic sports.
Schatz’s photo series is available on Amazon.
