Martin Schoeller’s Portraits of the 2012 U.S. Olympians

New York-based photographer Martin Schoeller features 16-year-old gymnast Gabby Douglas, track and field star Lolo Jones, and swimmer Ryan Lochte, both in action and behind the scenes. The 2012 Olympic gold-medal hopefuls are posed in Schoeller’s classic up-close-and-personal style, and we also get to see a broad view of the intense athletic action and focus that these athletes experience during the course of their preparation.
