Olympic Fashion Photography – Photography is Nothing – Ep24

Episode 24 – There is typically lots of fashion & editorial photography that surrounds the Olympics. For this year’s 2026 Winter Olympics, Zach & Courtney found three cool photoshoots, but feel like there should be a lot more!

In this episode we talk about…

– Win Tam’s high-fashion photos of Team China for VogueMan China
– French photographer Mathieu Forget photographing Italian Olympians in a 5-star Milan hotel
– Newel Odin’s sleek, modern images of Team France

We also take an historical look at Olympics editorial photoshoots by Annie Leibovitz, Bruce Weber, and Ryan McGinley and compare them to what we’re seeing today.

PLUS, Courtney talks about how the Olympics are neither the time nor place for public wedding proposals and Zach gets up in arms about how photographers need to be credited correctly for their work.
