London-based photographer Paul Calver and art director Gemma Fletcher have collaborated on ‘Bodies’, a photo series dedicated to the various types of athletic bodies.
The term “athlete” is a broad one that encompasses a vast array of body types, and the project celebrates the “perfectly imperfect form of an athlete’s body”, according to the pair.
The series features a boxer, a martial artist, a bodybuilder, a runner and a sumo wrestler.
From the lean and toned physique of the runner to the wide girth of the sumo wrestler, the images show that athleticism comes in all shapes and sizes.
Check out some photographs below.
