How the fuck did he/she manage to make world class athletes look like rabies ravaged drug addicts?

Wouldn't taking their photo against a white background with good lighting, then dropping a variety of thematic background images behind them in PS been a better idea? Seems like someone could have already had the imagery created even before the photo shoot.
- have done that a LOT... note that you have to see the background BEFORE you light the person...vaxorcist

This is odd.... maybe a symptom of publications laying off wise photo editors, as usually when a "red carpet celebrity papparazzi who doesn't know lighting" is assigned to do something like this, somebody smart hires a veteran production team, smart sylists, art directors, MUA's and at least 2 very experienced lighting tech assistants...
I've been one of those people on one of those teams when I was a photo assistant years ago.... there's a weird vibe where the assistants know they are doing the so-called "photographer" a fucking huge favor, rescuing him from embarrassment....
- Please do remember this was a quick ad hoc photo shoot it was by no means profesional.chossy
- obviously.... quick, ad-hoc shoot and by no means professional is a good way of putting it!vaxorcist
- Ha I've been there. I'm not super knowledgable in lighting but the photographer I was helping didn't know what he was doing. Couldn't even get the radio sync to work.pango

Yes Pango, personally I probably would have gone for close up features, maybe abstract, things for cylist, forearm for shotput feer for runner etc. etc. alternatively I would have just gone for a face shot.
Again it's just a shame they had fuck all time to rattle these things off and it would appear they didn't really get any chance to do any post work on the images either.

- and feet for runner! gosh my typing has deserted me today.chossy

Did you guys have a look at the behind the scenes etc. these guys have very little time to set anything up they just have to get cracking.
On the face of it they do look a bit rubbish, but then I guess you have to remember that if you had an hour to design something for a very prestigious event I'm sure it would get ripped apart fairly quickly by the public.
