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.

There’s something thrilling about seeing action sports played out at night. Sure, sporting events held in arenas and stadiums are accustomed to night events, the fast-paced world of action sports, though, gets an extra jolt of excitement when the moon is watching. Maybe it’s simply just that our minds have been trained to associate sports like wakeboarding and motocross as something we view with the sun overhead. But watching as cars speed by and athletes leap through the air with the heat of bright spotlights pointed their way, the drama of sports played out against the backdrop of a night sky is clear. Scroll down to see how Red Bull athletes own their sports during any time of day.
