Neil Gibbons, a graduate from University College in Worcester, certainly
believes in getting a sense of movement into his pictures.
The Creative Digital Media graduate took a series of amazing pictures
of acrobats jumping and somersaulting across rooftops and walls, as part
of his course work.
He also produced an amazing picture of someone running on the UCW's floodlit
athletic track.

To truly
capture the images the 27-year-old used the latest computer technology
in which several single frame images are combined within just one picture.

"It
was fantastic to see the professionalism of these sportsmen, they were
taking risks but at the same time planed everything so methodically,"
said Neil.
"The Free Running world is all about uninhibited movement, so hopefully
my work has gone some way to capturing its essence."
In addition to his rooftop challenges, shot on locations throughout London,
Neil has adapted the same photographic technique to be used as a useful
sports aid.
He believes it will help to take training in events like high jump and
triple jump, to a whole new level.
"Using TV and video can be costly and time consuming, but in this
way coaches can have the picture with them to show the full flow of the
whole event in just one image," he said.
