Elevate (2004)

Child divers stand on the end of Crystal Palace’s highest diving board with the expanse of the sports centre as their backdrop. The high board - normally forbidden - is the ambition of most young divers; yet during this first visit the boys look nervous and exposed. Elevate explores this combination of aspiration and vulnerability.
