Martin Schoeller Snaps Female Bodybuilders

Acclaimed German-born, US-based photographer Martin Schoeller is used to snapping the likes of American Presidents and A-list Hollywood film stars, but here he’s turned his attention to these incredible female bodybuilders. The multi-award-winner says that he wishes to capture the vulnerability of his subjects “to get to the complex emotions behind a mask of extreme physical expression.”
