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.
Riding the tumultuous waves at Praia do Norte, Portugal. Climbing a treacherous peak in the Himalayas. Base jumping off the formidable Mount Kilimanjaro. A triathlon race overlooking the majestic Wanaka, New Zealand. The thrill, the drama, and all the elements that come together in moments of real, extreme action can be difficult to capture in a single image, when taken from a normal vantage point. For some Red Bull pro photographers, it is much easier to make like a bird and see the big picture when they shoot from above, with the help of an airplane, helicopter, hot air ballon, or even a drone.
To inspire you, we gathered these exciting images—all taken from very high up in the air—that give you a beautiful bird’s eye view, and puts the entire experience of a determined athlete and adventurer in perspective. Scroll down, and prepare to be blown away!
Stay tuned for another story from Red Bull Photography that will blow your mind next week!
