February 17, 2016

Did you know that Broc Raiford‘s dad, Ryan rides BMX? Did you know his dad is a huge part of where Broc is today and one of his biggest supporters? Probably not. We had no idea that Broc and his dad were so close and rode together every chance they got. Here’s a video Red Bull dropped telling the story of how BMX runs in the blood of the Raiford family!

“In between the swamplands of Southern Louisiana, located just to the west of New Orleans, lies the small town of Destrehan, home of the Raiford family and a father-and-son BMX dynasty, Ryan and Broc.
Born in 1968, in Norco, Louisiana, Ryan Raiford was a Southern boy on the loose and hunting for speed and excitement on two wheels.
Find out more about the Railford family and catch their amazing riding in the video above.”

Red Bull Illume – No DSLR? No Problem! Shooting Mobile with Kelvin Trautman

February 17, 2016

With all the advancements in technology, especially when it comes to phones and their camera capabilities, it’s not really a big surprise that you can, in some cases, end up with some very high quality photos. We’ve seen more and more phones come with more and more options from shutter speed to ISO and aperture settings, making them more like a DSLR camera. Red Bull recently had photographer Kelvin Trautman at the Mash EX&HOP Mini Ramp Contest to test out his skills on shooting a BMX contest with a mobile phone. Above is a video showing you Kelvin putting in the work, along with a few of of the end result photos. One of the best photography tips I ever received was from Rob Dolecki and that was that “You don’t need the highest quality equipment to get good results.” With the way phones are going, you don’t need that super high priced camera to get good results and this is proof of that. Take a look!

“We teamed up with South African photographer Kelvin Trautman and presented him with a challenge; shoot the Ex&Hop BMX contest using only a mobile device. No flashes, no professional cameras and using only available light were all part of this challenge.

“If the conditions are right – light-wise, scenery-wise – it doesn’t really matter what camera you have.” – Kelvin Trautman

Red Bull Illume features a brand-new mobile category for 2016, in which we want to see the best action and adventure shots you have on your camera roll. We teamed up with Kelvin Trautman to show you one of the ways in which you can approach this category!

Photographer: Kelvin Trautman
Video: Richard Bos
Athletes: Daniel Dhers, Andreev Kostya, JB Peytavit & Larry Edgar

Video shot on Sony A7rii, Sony Zeiss Batis 85mm/1,8 and a Sony RX10.”
