While we were searching for new ideas about sports photography, an excellent competition came in our “way”. We’re not talking about winter events or extreme challenges, with lots of people and rankings. Actually, the winners are right here, in the following categories, but their real talent and accuracy gave them the knowledge to capture remarkable and unique imagines full of emotion, dedication, strength or passion. The stunning collection of Red Bull Illume is the first premier action and adventure sports photography competition, with 10 category winners from 50 finalists and an overall winner, Chris Burkard (USA), for its “illuminated” picture.
