The Freaks Portfolio captures the raw essence of action photography before modern action cameras. Dive into the lives of skydivers, BASE jumpers and other freaks, risk takers & air breakers (Buy some Merch here!), a fascinating community.
In an era before high-resolution action cameras, capturing these adrenaline-fuelled moments required courage and ingenuity. Photographers dove alongside jumpers, making the camera as essential as the parachute (and a potentially additional source for incidents and fatalities…). These images reveal a world where the sky is the playground, and home is wherever the chute lands.
Skydivers and BASE jumpers are the ultimate nomads, always seeking new heights and challenges. This non-exhaustive gallery gives some insight into the ephemeral playgrounds of these gravity rebels. Each jump is a new adventure, captured in a split second between life and death.
These images are a testament to the vibrant, chaotic lives of those who choose to soar. In this high-octane world, the pursuit of pleasure is as intense as the jumps themselves. “Sex, Drugs, Fun” reflects the hedonistic lifestyle that often accompanies the adrenaline rush.
Welcome to a world where the horizon is always changing, and the thrill of the next jump is the only constant.
