Red Bull Illume 2008

Red Bull Illume began as a quest to find the 50 best raw moments in action and adventure sports. Photography experts and esteemed photo editors from around the world served as contest judges and hand-selected 50 images from the 7,200 submissions received from photographers in over 90 countries worldwide. These astonishing images now comprise the Red Bull Illume Exhibit Tour, which honors the men and women behind the lens who have braved the planet’s harshest terrain in order to capture athletic grit and triumph.

Lowepro is proud to be the official gear sponsor of Red Bull Illume. At Lowepro, our innovation and passion are fueled by the demands of the photographers who use our gear. Whether you're hanging from a steep precipice, running to keep up with the action, or waiting for hours to capture that one moment of greatness, you count on your gear to protect what's important. The partnership reflects our support of the photographers, contestants and participants whose outdoor action, sports and adventure lifestyle is our inspiration.
