Free choice of subject. A portfolio with about twenty to thirty photos related to the main theme has to be done. My choice: passions.
One more try
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/1000
The moment right before the ball is thrown on the other side of the camp, every time a little bit further.
Kick the ball
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/1000
The incredible mobility of the football player is captured in the second he kicks the ball. His body is perfectly straight, his leg nearly at 180 degrees.
Frozen runner
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/1000
Diagonal lines characterize this frame. A strong one defined by the white shirt gives the feeling of movement.
Player 29
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/200
Strong contrast between the two numbers, one on the back of the player and one on the ground. Loneliness, even if there is another girl in the background, seems inevitable.
Strongest contrast. Balanced colors.
Decisions
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/250
A group of football girls discussing the best tactics for the game.
Balanced red and lights.
Rest time
f. 4
ISO 1600
1/100
A gym in the dark, dumbbells on the ground. A quick look at the stopwatch and it’s time to restart.
Focus
f. 5.6
ISO 1600
1/100
Up, down, up, down. Feeling the muscles scream and beg to stop, but you won’t. not until you have finished. All these thoughts in a breath before the start.
Increased light.
The momentum
f. 4
ISO 800
1/100
It’s pain, self-conscious pain. And his face shows it.
Red gains
f. 4.5
ISO 1600
1/100
Last repetition. Contracted face.
Football afternoon
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/500
A quiet place, sunlight and a ball are all you need to feel good.
Three points out
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/250
Three fingers up, all you need to communicate how many points will let you be the winner.
Score!
f. 5
ISO 100
1/1000
Basketball is logic, calculations and a bit of luck. Claudia’s face shows the concern of her shot.
The spectator
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/320
While everybody is playing, a girl stays out. She’s the spectator.
Team
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/400
The basketball game is just finished. Saba had made a mistake and now he has to pay a fee: a friendly punch from every member of the team.
Liquid dream
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/320
Sonia has always loved the water. She’s only five now, but, as soon as weather is warm, she’s constantly with her feet in the water. Laughing and splashing in a way only children are able to.
Skate higher
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/800
The skate is part of your body. If you jump, it jumps with you. Control is the key word.
Balance
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/500
Dance with it.
Ready to jump
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/500
The energy is ready to be released. The power and velocity of the jump are determined in this exact moment.
Upside-down world
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/500
A new prospective of things is obtained simply turning yourself upside-down, as Rasmus did. Learn to read the world in another way.
Parkour in the capital
f. 5
ISO 100
1/800
Everyday objects can become the perfect base for a volt. Never undervalue the strength of parkour.
Get up!
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/500
Challenge yourself to the limit. Rasmus jumped from the ground and now he’s struggling to arrive in the final position. The body is tense, the mind focused.
New perspectives
f. 4
ISO 100
1/800
A second before the vertical pose is done. He literally jumped over the wall, using the momentum to complete his exercise.
Lazy volt
f. 5
ISO 100
1/800
Martin does one of the easiest movement in parkour. Sometimes simplicity is the most effective way.
I believe I can fly
f. 4.5
ISO 100
1/1600
Rasmus flew, literally, over the wall. Three meters and a half. Technique is everything.
Theatre

Being a clown also means acting. The street is your scene and you have to be able to amuse the public.
Desaturation of the background.
Oxymoron
f. 5.6
ISO 100
1/100
A sad clown. The perfect representation of a man whose passion wasn’t enough to capture his dream.
Desaturation of the background, vibrance of the jacket.
