Red Bull Photography recently joined our community with a verified brand profile of their own. This partnership isn’t just about amazing photography — it’s also about amazing stories. Behind every shot on Red Bull Photography is a talented photographer, a wild story, and a few lessons learned. We’ll be telling those stories every week here on 500px ISO and the Red Bull Photography website.

Over the next four weeks, we’re going to be featuring epic action shots that capture the planet’s Four Elements—Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. Plus, we also want to give the incredible Red Bull photographers behind these photos a shoutout. Next up is our Third Element of the Week…Fire! Scroll down for a breathtaking collection of red-hot photos that capture sports that involve fire and smoke.
