Entry Description

David Belle is the inventor of “Parkour” urban atheletics. Red Bull commissioned me to visit David’s home town near Paris and photograph his home town neighborhood where he invented and refined his method and approach for Parkour. His methods and aesthetic for his art has been taught and developed and now David has a team that travels and does demonstrations globally. My objective was to isolate segments of his urban acrobatics and illustrate the intensity and daring skill that is employed in a most visual and dynamic manner in the context of his urban environment he grew up in.
