Maragni’s concept came from shooting racing cars at night and following the light trails of the headlights with the camera.

“I started working on using the same effects in other sports and now I’m bringing this to the b-boys because I think it totally works with the scene,” said Maragni.

The photographs were taken to demonstrate motion in a still image and created using long shutter exposures and attaching LED lights to the dancer’s trainers.

B-Boy Lil G, winner of Red Bull BC One Brazil commented: “I really enjoyed the photo shoot with the LEDs because I was doing a move I really love: the headspin. I can spin and spin and spin without putting my hands on the floor while making lots of movements with my legs. When I saw the picture I was amazed because you can see all these lines around me and the main movement.”
