Title: The Art of Movement
Length: 7:23 min
Date: September 20, 2008
Parkour (English: the art of movement) is a discipline that appeared first in France, more similar to a martial art than to a sport, focused on moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and quickly as possible using the abilities of the human body. It is built on the philosophical premise that any obstacle, physical or mental, can be surpassed.
A characteristic of parkour is efficiency. Practitioners move not only as rapidly as they can, but also in the most direct and efficient way possible. This characteristic distinguishes it from the similar practice of free running, which places more emphasis on freedom of movement and creativity. However, it is not certain whether freerunning was initially intended to be similar to parkour. Efficiency also involves avoiding injuries, both short and long term. This idea embodying parkours unofficial motto is etre et durer (to be and to last). Those who are skilled at this activity normally have an extremely keen spatial awareness.

Title: Desperate Housewives Theme photoshoot
Length: 3:36 min
Date: April 3, 2009
Sometimes is more fun to shoot everything on pink. Inspired by famous cult Tv-series "The Desperate Housewives".
The setting of the show is the street of Wisteria Lane in the fictional American town of Fairview in the Eagle State. It follows the lives of a group of women, seen through the eyes of their dead neighbor. They work through domestic struggles and family life, while facing the secrets, crimes and mysteries hidden behind the doors of their — at the surface — beautiful and seemingly perfect suburban neighborhood.
Title: BreakDance
Length: 2:07 min
Date: October 22, 2008
I did this shoot with collaboration with a friend of mine who does break dancing.
So I called him and offered to take some pictures. And he agreed.
I didnt know what to expect, nor did I see him perform such movements.
But my jaw dropped when he stood on his hands and bend 90 degree back.
Ive got some really good shots that day.
By the way, back then I was taking photography classes. Now Im already graduate and have my professional diploma.
