During my extended trip to Saudi Arabia, I had the opportunity to shoot world-renowned professional skater Nyjah Houston outside the iconic Maraya Concert Hall in AlUla.
Nyjah Houston is arguably the most successful pro skater of all time; in 2006, Nyjah became the youngest X-Games competitor at age 11, winning an impressive 13 gold medals there, becoming a six-time world champion and collecting countless other accolades throughout his illustrious career.
Nyjah was invited to AlUla, Saudi Arabia to attend Swerve Festival; a world-first event bringing artists and athletes together. Click here to learn more about Swerve Festival. The organisers of Swerve Festival invited me and talented UK filmmakers Ben Anthony Horton and Max Wilson with Aurora Media Worldwide, to capture the unique spectacle in our own way…
