Impeccably toned and outrageously skilled, athletes have always lent themselves — or at least their bodies — particularly well to the camera. The Brooklyn Museum's new exhibition, “Who Shot Sports: A Photographic History, 1843 to the Present," is a testament to the genre, from 19th-century tennis players to UFC fighters and, of course, Serena Williams, shot by industry giants like Bob Martin to artier heavy hitters like Andy Warhol and Herb Ritts. The photographers in Rio have a lot to live up to this summer.
