2 GYMNASTS AIM HIGH - COMMERCIAL PHOTO SHOOT
It's been a while since we had the pleasure of Jess and Justin in the Studio and we can only imagine what they've been up to since then... However, these two elite gymnasts from Yorkshire sure know a thing or two about how to get out of a sticky looking situation... Even though most of them are of their own making!
As commercial photo shoots go this is certainly a first for us and after a while we got used to our stomachs being in our mouths watching both Jess & Justin break the laws of Physics as we know it!
These two award winning gymnasts from Yorkshire approached us to get some images for their portfolios and demonstrate the skills that have no doubt taken many years to achieve.

Luckily the studio we work from is high enough to accommodate the death-defying positions and stunts performed so seemingly effortlessly by the duo and getting the images that were asked actually worked quite well. Although knowing when the desired position had been reached was a little tricky for non-gymnast followers, with a little help we produced a wide variety of images as some of them are shown here.
Following the handover of the images to both Jess & Justin, we were delighted to receive their feedback and reviews and Justin wanted to add a bit about himself to the blog entry...
My name is justin Beardsmore and I've been an acrobatic gymnastics since I was 11 years old and by the age of 13 I was representing Great Britain at international competitions. I trained at Wakefield gymnastics club 6 days a week for 7 years which helped me achieve a world bronze medal and one european silver medal and 2 european bronze medals. In my competitive career I represented the country for 4 years in both a men's pair and men's group. Once I turned 17 I went on to do my last competition at the 2012 world championships. After that I retired from competing and took up acrobatics professionally and moved to mallorca to work with a company called pirates which is a world renowned show for acrobatics. After that I was lucky enough to be offered a training contract with cirque du Soleil and went to train with them in montreal in Canada. Now I'm back in England currently coaching younger kids how to do the same as I did.

We hope to see both Jess and Justing back in the studio soon showing off their fantastic skills, maybe with new things to show the world, and possibly with a few more medals and trophies!
