In honor of Earth Day (April 22), we’re shining the spotlight on the Four Elements: Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire! This month on ISO, you’ll find stories about the best 500px photographs that capture these four elements in a groundbreaking way—and the crop of talented photographers behind the shot. You can follow all our Four Elements posts on social media with the hashtag #PlanetPX. Let’s start with our second Element of the Week—WATER!
Red Bull Photography recently joined our community with a verified brand profile of their own. This partnership isn’t just about amazing photography—it’s also about amazing stories. Behind every shot on Red Bull Photography is a talented photographer, a wild story, and a few lessons learned. We’ll be telling those stories every week here on 500px ISO and the Red Bull Photography website. Scroll down for the story behind this action-packed shot, courtesy of the Red Bull Content Pool.
The sheer size of this wave is utterly awe inspiring just on its own. To think of surfing this is something else entirely. But surf it indeed is what surfer Maya Gabeira did this year.
We could only but look on in admiration.
Taken by photographer Hugo Silva at Praia do Norte in Nazareth, Brazil, the image really shows the power of nature and how we like to harness it. Totally fantastic.
Stay tuned for another story from Red Bull Photography that will blow your mind next week!
