01 Danny MacAskill

Fred Murray, UK

This is professional street trials rider Danny MacAskill, pictured during the shooting of his latest Red Bull film in the ‘ghost town’ of Epecuen in Argentina. The town was flooded in 1985 when a saltwater lake burst its banks. As the line Danny had been filming was in the bag, I got some time to set up a shot as the sun was going down. Two Einstein E640 lights were triggered with a PocketWizard FlexTT5 and MC-2s; due to the salty flood water, the trees and rubble are coated with a hard white residue that’s accentuated by the cold flash temperature.
