Every sinew of British sprinter Harry Aikines-Aryeetey’s sculpted body is geared towards running fast. Here he is lensed by sports photographer Andy Hooper.
“I want to be like superman, I like wings, I want to fly. I have a big Superman comic canvas over my bed which says ‘This looks like a job for Superman’.” — Harry Aikines-Aryeetey
“I have wanted to photograph Harry properly ever since I shot him fully clothed more than a year ago. He has muscles like no one else. For the main picture, I wanted to show all his muscles working, as if it was the start of a 100m race and the gun had just been fired. This is the split-second in the middle of the first stride, the power has come on, every sinew is tense and Harry’s shape is perfect.” — Andy Hooper, UK Sports Photographer of the Year 2016
