Capturing the Spirit of Alysa Liu: New Work by Heather Hazzan

Heather Hazzan was recently commissioned by Rolling Stone to photograph Olympic Gold Medalist Alysa Liu. The resulting imagery offers a fresh, relaxed look at the figure skating star, leaning into a sense of playfulness and ease.

Known for her ability to create an approachable atmosphere on set, Heather’s portraits move away from traditional athletic tropes. Instead, they capture a more personal side of Alysa, blending quiet, candid moments with a lighthearted spirit.
