Parkour & Freerun photography by Alexander James
This series captures the energy of the human body within the architecture of our urban environments, seeing these spaces as a playground. Our urban environments are so controlled, every movement is restricted in one way or another - I want to break down these barriers. This series is about far more than athletes, bricks and mortar. Architecture comes alive offering a never-ending set of challenging surfaces and spaces to those willing enough to explore them.
Shot in city centers, abandoned graffiti soaked warehouses and deserted car parks in Paris, Sydney, London & New York – all created ‘in camera’ without the use of post production, either digital or traditional.
