So there was a period two months ago, where the parkour industry was fairly quiet. Parkour seems to be fairly seasonal in respect to the interest shown by commercial prospects, with the winter months easily feeling slower and more suited for a time to build upon infrastructure and learn, before resuming the workloads in the […]
On grey days, I tend to almost always process my images to monochrome. There is just something so drab about a generally colourless image that a pure white sky facilitates, and its simply not to my taste as a photographer. Here are a few images from one such day in Newmarket, wherein we played on […]
I was given the pleasure of visiting Daniel Ilabaca on set for a Sure commercial he performed in last year. It was quite an interesting experience, as they had build a big silver ‘Ninja Warrior’ style obstacle course in Black Island Studios, London. The advert consisted of Daniel running up ramps, striding platforms in water, […]
Thus far, this blog has mostly focused on films and photography, but I’d like to document a little more of the kind of life a Practitioner of Parkour might have. There is a certain ‘can-do’ attitude that develops through Parkour training and a sort of wily charm that goes with it. In turn, I documented […]
Live on was and to this day still is, probably my overall favorite video I’ve ever made. Just something about the blend of movement, music and good memories truly resonates with me.

For years it has been a location that Traceurs have traveled far and wide to visit, and is covered extensively in Duncan Germain’s feature length documentary, ‘Pilgrimage’. The widespread circulation of videos of the original Traceurs put Lisses on the map for […]
Luke Reynolds in known for his fiery temper, and his fiery hair. Being one of the biggest, most muscular people I know (which to this day his dedication to working out still baffles me), Luke tends to find any strength focused movements particularly fun; and has been on the quest for a ‘Holy Grail’ climbup […]
On a cool misty afternoon in Moreton, we decided to indulge in a little camouflage and purchase a few face-paints. After acquiring the paint, we set to blending Daniel into his environments. This exercise was great for me photographically because the vast majority of my photography focuses on a high-contrast, high-exposure format in which the […]
This post contains the second half of the ‘Most Important Youtube Parkour Videos’ rundown. Remember these are what I personally believe are the most influential videos, and of course each practitioner will have things that they will find more important than others. These are the videos that have shaped the way Parkour is trained and […]
