Parkour/Tricking Photography

[bennehboy]

Hi,

I've been taking photographs of my local parkour group (WYPK) for just over 18 months, during that time I've developed a keen interest in parkour & tricking. This has resulted in me having a photograph exhibited in the Tate Britain gallery, an article published in JPG magazine, several newspaper articles, and a photo published in an upcoming fine art book by Susan Hiller.

Anyhow, I thought you might like to see some of my work, and see what the members of WYPK have been getting up here in Leeds (England):

Nice man. Which camera and lens do you use?

I'm doing the same stuff myself but not ass good yet. Using Canon Eos 400D and Ef 50mm 1.8. Iæ'm saving to canon Ef 24mm 1.4 USM L and speedlite 430ex.

Thanx man. But when you're using F/8 it's easy to get dark photoes. It's probablt only in the summertime that you can use 1/500 and f/8. i struggled even when I have my camera set to 1/200 and f/1.8 :P But I'm so lokkin forward to the summer. I'm so gonne test something like your motion picture, it gave me alot of inspiration.

Good luck.
