Masterpiece by Yodabashi shows the crème de la crème of Red Bull Illume photography, the prime cut of action and adventure sports photography. This image has to have that WOW factor! This is the image that your portfolio is centered around.
“Every year we're looking for the next step up. Don't emulate what's happened before, push your limits. With masterpiece, it's perfection, the true portfolio image,” says a former Red Bull Illume judge.
In 2013, the now infamous shot of Travis Rice shredding in Alaska, shot by Scott Serfas, took home the prize. The contrast between light and dark, the combination between rider and nature and unique perspective of the shot all combined to create a Masterpiece.
