Ataboy’s A Portrait Of An Athlete series salutes the art of athleticism

“What’s most exciting to us about creating this series of films is the fusion between the dedication and hard work of athletics and art,” Cordy explained. “There’s a deep similarity between the two, despite them being different passions. On some level, you give everything to it. And beyond this single story, we’re planning an entire series of portraits for athletes by beloved artists. Through this, we’re hoping to create different partnerships, bring awareness to charities that are important to these athletes, and overall celebrate the art of athleticism.”
