EP 45 | Action Sports Photography, Red Bull Illume, Why You Need To Specialize & More With Urich Grill
I am stoked to be sharing a conversation I had with the extremely talented photographer, athlete, and businessman, Ulrich Grill.
Urich is undoubtedly a jack of all trades and a leader within the global photography space. He is an accomplished photographer and athlete as well as founder of the Zoom Productions photo agency, COOPH, and most recently as I'm sure you will all know Red Bull Illume.
On this episode, Urich and I talk about how Ulrich got his start in action sports photography, what led him to work so closely with Red Bull and start Red Bull Illume in 2006, the importance of being a specialist, why its time you started networking, what Red Bull Illume looks for in a winning image and so much more.
