About Harry
Harry Parker picked up a camera in college and never put it down. The camera opened doors unimaginable at the time of film. He began chasing his friends and adventures, shooting events, portraiture, weddings, and travel throughout college.
By the end of his college years, a skydiving and BASE jumping career began. Harry took his photography skills for a ride developing a professional skydiving and action sports photography business covering almost 30 years, reflecting the people, businesses, and lifestyle of the hidden scene of skydiving and BASE jumping.
"I found the ability to reflect the people, businesses, and lifestyle in a positive light people enjoyed and committed myself to develop a photojournalistic and brand photography style."
Harry traveled the world and quickly became a widely known skydiving and BASE jumping photographer and cinematographer, shooting large events, competitions, and commercial jobs as a photographer and talent. Harry worked with some of the biggest names in the skydiving filming business, including Tom Sanders of Aerial Focus and Craig O'Brien, widely known for his work on some of the biggest action movies.

From the search, the find, recovery process, and finally the memorial process. While on mission, Harry documented the searches, finds, and actual crash sites using video for 3D photogrammetry and even as a Forensic Photographer.
"Working with Project Recover uncovered the real purpose in my shooting to tell stories of the men and the work behind what it takes to bring an MIA home."
