The Evolution of Camera Flying

David Pratt

In this seminar, David will take us through the ‘Evolution of Camera Flying’ and will discuss how pictures and moving images have been captured in parachuting and skydiving. His talk will go back to some of the very first parachuting images and looks at how camera flying skills and technology have developed over the years since.

About the Speaker

David did his first jump in 1997 and as soon he was able to jump camera he made himself a camera helmet, since then camera work and the technology behind it have been a huge part of his skydiving life. From his initial camera fun jumps he started flying with 4 and 8-way teams which lead to doing camera work for tandems. After a few years of tandem camera, he decided to see if he could make a living from skydiving and set upon the path to being a full-time skydiver doing AFF, tandem, camera and rigging.
