Red Bull Photo Challenge Usa 2006
the idea:
We are looking for cutting-edge sports photography and about the photographers who create it.
Some of the worlds best free sports photographers started with the "Red Bull Photo Challenge": Christian Pondella, Flo Hagena, Alex Schelbert, Dean Treml, Geoff Waugh and have continued to be important members of the Red Bull Photofiles team.
Now, young professional photographers are again invited to participate by sending in their portfolios. Four participants will be selected for the shooting and will afterwards be evaluated based on their overall performance at the Red Bull Photo Challenge. Consideration for future Red Bull work will depend on each photographer's performance during the shooting.
the sports:
The categories range from Freestyle Skiing, Snowboarding, FMX, Skateboarding, Rock Climbing, Running, etc. as the Red Bull Photo Challenge will cover both winter and summer seasons. To be confirmed depending on availability of athletes.
the location:
The landscape of Mammoth Lakes, California (USA) offers great diversity from snow to deserts and, allows the team to shoot winter and summer sports at the same time. The Mammoth Mountain, Owens River Gorge, Buttermilks, Eureka Valley and other areas are destined to be the inspiration for the photographers to trigger their purest creativity.
the timing:
The Red Bull Photo Challenge will take place in Mammoth Lakes in April 2006.
Creative and focused professionals are invited to participate. The whole process of the Red Bull Photo Challenge is divided into three stages:
1st step: submit your portfolio. Deliver a creative portfolio; full of style and action.
