Juan ‘Melon’ Mayer has published a stunning book, ULTIMATE HIGH – Skydiving Behind the Lens.
This is my first book of Skydiving Photography. Enjoy it!
It has been a very long journey from when I first started taking photos to where I am today. My inspiration comes very much from the sport I love: skydiving.
##Being Present
Presence and freedom are two things that people tend to forget about. We are rarely present. We are always thinking about the future or the past instead of enjoying the very moment with our children or what is dear to us.
The importance of being present is the essence of photography for me; you can't take a photo with your mind elsewhere.
I want to pass on the feeling of complete freedom I sense when I am entering the sky, the feeling that the world seems to move in slow motion, even if it is only for a minute. The importance of being present is the essence of photography for me. You can’t take a photo with your mind elsewhere.
##Photography Book
After more than 15 years doing photos of skydiving, I decided to start working on a book of Skydiving Photography 2 years ago. Finally after all that work, a dream has come true!!!
There are thousands of ways to promote yourself on the internet, but nothing truly beats the feeling of a solid, tangible photography book with 104 beautiful glossy pages.
##Where do I get one?
If you are in Dubai, you can get a copy of this book at “Book World by Kinokuniya” store in Dubai Mall and at Skydive Dubai Desert Campus located in Al Ain Road, Margham, Dubai.
The books are available already in Square 1 store, at Skydive Perris and also in the Skydiving Outlet at Deland.
