Photographer captures seemingly impossible long exposure action shot of skydivers against the northern lights while flying over 100MPH in sub-zero temperatures

Jeff Provenzano and Jon DeVore wingsuit skydiving under the Aurora Borealis near Palmer, Alaska on March 23, 2026.

Northern light photography typically involves slow shutter speeds, while sports photography generally warrants a fast shutter speed – naturally, the two genres don't usually mix well. But the final photographs from one skydiver’s mission to jump in all 50 US states were set against Alaska’s northern lights – and the photographers managed to make a seemingly impossible shoot look rather epic.

Red Bull Air Force Athlete Jeff Provenzano had a goal to sky jump in all 50 US states. The last state to cross off the list? Alaska. Red Bull is calling the resulting images from the March 23 jump a "world first" of wingsuiting against the northern lights.
