Flipping Outside - Melbourne Gymnastics Photoshoot
Melbourne gymnastics clubs are in high demand right now. Now that the Olympics are over and the hype is still fresh, Will Shurey & I headed out to flip about in our local park.
As the sun went down – admittedly much faster than anticipated – we strolled around Berwick’s Wilson Botanical Park in search for the perfect spot.
Casey Council have been working tirelessly to update & upgrade the gardens and the new water feature helped find the first location.
Will Shurey is one of Melbourne’s top gymnasts and effortlessly flipped by the water’s edge while I waited for gaps in the hordes of visitors to the Berwick gardens.
The second location was much more difficult to photograph. A popular spot for kids & families, we couldn’t set up safely while there was still sunlight. So we waited.
Will, the professional he is, performed backflip after backflip in a small space under tree branches and with only the light from my Profoto B10+’s.
