Photographer Howard Schatz’s series Athlete is a striking exploration of the beauty of the human physique.
In the series, which can be found as a book on Amazon, Schatz captures different variations of the physical human beauty: from bodybuilders and their sculpture-like muscles to bone-thin marathon runners and petite gymnastics athletes, the series explores the ideal physique required to compete in each sport, a physique that is not only celebrated as the result of genetics and hard training but also admired as a “divine machine”.
