The Red Bull Illume Exhibit Tour will return to the famous Hangar-7 in Salzburg, Austria for the 3rd time in Red Bull Illume history.

From hanging off of sheer cliff faces to catch the perfect shot, to braving the freezing cold because the light is spectacular, adventure photographers go through some serious challenges to bring you amazing imagery. So we decided to delve into the archives and bring you our take on the seven photographers you need to know!

Denis Klero, winner of the Red Bull Illume Image Quest 2016 Close-Up category, recently completed a gigantic photo-mission: three weeks on the road during the Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme, an ultra-stage bike race from Moscow to Vladivostok. Following that, there were no days off for him, as he headed out to the Red Bull Flugtag. Two completely different photo-missions, two different approaches and he talked us through them.
