ATHLETE - WARRIOR

ATHLETE / WARRIOR
By Jonathan Anderson and Edwin Low

 

Powerful photographs by internationally acclaimed photographers Anderson & Low of young men and women who are training for both the sports field and the battlefield while studying at America’s three famed military academies – West Point, Annapolis and Colorado Springs. Athlete/Warrior contains arresting juxtapositions of cadets in their military dress – from formal to fatigues – and in the uniform of their chosen sport, including swimming, track events, football, gymnastics, and basketball amongst others, which reveal subtle similarities and differences between the roles assumed by such disciplined and dedicated individuals.
 

The resonant images in Athlete / Warrior go beyond the military and sporting uniforms to highlight both the humanity of the individuals portrayed and the noble aspirations that they embody.
