In 2014, photographer Mitchel Gray developed a concept aimed at illustrating the musculature and grace underneath the equipment, padding and uniforms of elite athletes.
The result–a uniquely artful photo series titled, Bodies in Action–employs distinctive lighting and a “double shot” of the athlete to capture the symmetry, precision and perfection of champions. With many of the subjects being Olympians, Gray’s images are on display at the Elga Wimmer PCC Gallery in Chelsea, New York City to coincide with this summer’s Rio Games.
