Published in 1990 by Bruno Gmünder, Athletes captures French photographer Patrick Sarfati at the height of his visual study of the male form. Rooted in the lineage of classic physique photography, recalling the work of Bob Mizer and Bruce of Los Angeles. Sarfati elevates athletic portraiture into a stylised, celebratory art form. Through a blend of high-contrast black-and-white plates and rich colour portraits, Athletes explores themes of physicality, vulnerability, and classical geometry.
