Norman Kent - Iconic Skydiving Cinematographer (Part I)

  • Summary

  • Send Us Feedback via Text

    My guest today is considered by many to be one of the greatest skydiving aerial photographers and cinematographers in the history of the sport. Norman Kent made his first jump at 19 years old. Now, at 68, he is still on the top of the mountain capturing the sport's most extraordinary images. At the time of this recording, the October 2024 cover of Parachutist Magazine is one of Norman’s images.

    With over 30,000 skydives made with a camera, Norman has witnessed and documented skydiving’s most extraordinary world records and beautiful moments. Some of these moments include capturing the Olympic Rings formation jump made during the Opening Ceremonies of the 1988 Olympic Games.

    This jump was broadcast live to one billion people around the globe to over 160 nations.

    Norman’s work has been published in prestigious magazines such Time, Playboy, the Guinness Book of World Records and Popular Photography. He has been part of blockbuster feature films such as Kingsman, Triple XXX, and Godzilla. He has shot commercials for the world’s largest brands including Smirnoff, Cocal-Cola, Visa and Ford, to name a few.

    I’m so pleased to welcome a skydiving icon, mentor and most of all, a thoughtful and warm human being, Norman Kent.
