I was recently approached to direct a corporate promo for the JUMP conference in London. The brief was simple, boy trains alongside girl, boy and girl realize its better to move together, happy ending. Of course, the boy part is easy. There are a multitude of extremely talented Traceurs out there who would all have […]
So Ive had a few emails recently asking for higher resolution images so people can put them as their desktop backgrounds. This is something that so far I haven’t set up on the blog, so from now on I’ll try to release a new Desktop Background for download once a month. I’ve included two resolutions, […]
I am not a Parkour Photographer by nature. I cut my teeth with photography whilst in College and then pursued my study of the medium with University. I first started shooting Parkour at the start of this academic year when I was asked to produce a ‘self-set’ project. This was no easy task. Being told […]
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 […]
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 […]
The sleepy suburb of Lisses is widely regarded as the birthplace of Parkour. 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 […]
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 […]
