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.
