Jonathan Anderson and Edwin Low have worked as the photographic team of Anderson & Low since 1990. Recently their work has focused on various aspects of sport and the lives of athletes.

Athletes features photographs taken during the three years prior to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Taken as a whole, these images meld into a single reflection of athletics and sport—a dynamic portrait replete with the beauty, toil, and determination of some of the world’s finest young athletes as they strive to achieve their Olympic dream.

Gymnasts features photographs of the National Danish Gymnastic Team. This series of nudes emphasizes the beauty and grace of these athletes as they assume classical poses, work through routines, or seemingly defy gravity.
