The Red Bull Illume Cliff Diving Event in Hamburg was extremely challenging for the three photographers, Ray Demski, Marcel Lämmerhirt and Chris Stadler who were commissioned to cover it.
Red Bull Illume spoke to Ray to get the inside view. Check the video above for the interview and Making Of slideshow.
Due to the different locations and range of photos that were required, Ray brought along a huge array of equipment. In addition to flashes, pocket wizards, tripods, stands, clamps, duct tape plus a few suitcases worth of other kit, Ray used three cameras and ten different lenses:
