CAMERON
Parkour is a sport, a hobby and a social subculture of the 21st century. But, for some it’s also a vehicle of artistic expression. ‘Cameron’ takes the viewer into the mind of one such artist revealing how this combination of urban exploration, athletics and creativity provides opportunity to escape into a world of ultimate physical expression.

Cameron was Matthew’s first ever subject for the photography series which became ‘JUMP’. He was 14 when they first met, and making an impression on the South African Parkour scene. Four years later, Matthew returned to Cape Town to produce and direct this film – further exploring Cameron’s journey; which has taken him from a parkour enthusiast to a career in the professional stunt world.

Based in London and shooting internationally, my passion for photography has introduced me to many different cultures, climates and experiences over the years. The people I meet and the light and sights I see, continually inspire and propel me on an ever-evolving creative journey. I consider it a privilege.

I’m a visual storyteller, always chasing the next big challenge and I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with many global brands and creative agencies over the years, some of whom I now get to call friends. I’m drawn to human emotion and I create stills and films centred around people and life – inspired by that raw energy of a caught moment. I strive to keep my imagery honest and relatable, all delivered with a touch of cinematic gloss.
