As things gear up towards the 2013 Red Bull Illume Winner Award Ceremony tonight, a number of action sports photography workshops have taken place all over Hong Kong.
Two of the workshops that took place yesterday were hosted by Rutger Pauw, who demonstrated the Leica S2. Photographers had the opportunity to shoot Red Bull BMX star Viki Gomez as he performed stunts. The second workshop for local photographers and athletes took place in an urban setting in downtown Hong Kong in the evening.
So popular was the Leica workshop that another impromptu one took place on the rooftop of the W Hotel today!
Another popular workshop was hosted by broncolor & Sun-Sniper. Broncolor photographer Urs Recher demonstrated different light systems, and photographers got the chance to shoot Matthias Dandois at a traditional fish market in Kwun Tong. Sun-Sniper’s Urs Goetze also discussed tips on using different Sunbounce diffusers and reflectors.
Of course, everyone is waiting for the main event: the Red Bull Illume Winner Award Ceremony kicks off tonight at 20:30 HKT / 14:30 CET. We will be posting all the live updates on Facebook as well as revealing all the winners in real time on our www.redbullillume.com gallery. Be sure to tune in!
