Bike Ride

It’s not often that I have the opportunity to photograph commercially. Well here I had that opportunity! A friend of mine needed some images of his bike to post and compete and I was asked to take on the job.

I was given the flexibility to do as I please with this bike but that in itself can present its own set of challenges since I don’t know a think about motorcycles! I was given the freedom to choose the location and lighting scheme and he wanted to shoot during mid morning hours! Yikes! Now I was definately scratching my head I had to figure out a way to light this bike while competing against the harsh sunlight!

Well I scouted a location approximately a week prior to the shoot so I at least, knew the question to where we were going to shoot.

I loved the location because I had the grunge look I was after in addition to several other scenes I was able to use for contrast.

The bike lent itself very well against the sky and buildings in this image, I think.

Overall I was pleased with the final results from this shoot and so was my client and friend.
