Jose M. Mercado:
“The Olympians project was born in 2012 with the idea of photographing professional athletes in a different way, searching for each one’s relationship with their environment, all from an artistic point of view.
To carry out this project, I study each athlete and their sport to be able to create each photograph, which I sketch and study to the millimetre, both in terms of light and composition.
The result of this study is each of the images that you will see in the Olympians project.”
