High flying Wilson Crispim

I am shooting heavy now in Rio for my upcoming Beach Games tabloid. High flying Wilson Crispim , 20, is a parkour artist.

Belfast City Centre

The streets of Belfast city centre are deserted tonight but lights on the rain-soaked paving stones give an almost festive glow. Maybe it will be dry tomorrow, we’ll see!

The Sea
