World Photography Day, celebrated today, August 19, is an annual, worldwide celebration of the art, craft, science and history of photography. Since it is Red Bull Illume’s mission to celebrate the heroes behind the lens, we are especially excited about this day.
Capturing great moments
It needs passionate and outstanding photographers to be able to witness such incredible adventure and action sports moments. “Without photography my world would be invisible, and I couldn’t have the career I’ve had. It’s that simple: I don’t have a job without the pro photographers I work with,” says athlete Will Gadd.

Austrian freeride athlete Nadine Wallner also appreciates the photographers’ work, “It means a lot to have somebody with us when we are doing great things and to capture those moments.”
Celebrating incredible photography together
We at Red Bull Illume want to thank all the photographers for their hard work, continuous passion and outstanding creativity. Sharing such outstanding imagery with the world is only possible because of the relentless support from the community, for this we want to say a huge thank you to everyone!
