Parkour in China

Parkour freestyle pictures shot in Kunming, Yunnan, China.

I took these pictures in 2008 in Kunming.

At the time parkour was not very popular among young Chinese.

That summer I met Shen Yiliu, a friend of a friend, and we made this photo session on the outskirts of the city.

Freerunner: Shen Yiliu
Photographer: Matteo Damiani
