Motorcycle and Automotive Photography

When shooting your car or bike, you want images that show the details of your vehicle, capture its lines, reflect the time and effort it took to create it – and the care it takes to keep it looking its very best. We shoot both at our spacious studio and also on location for your convenience!

Little of Everything

Did a little of everything since my last post.  Here are some of my favorites.   Let’s start with some dance and ballet photos I did of Katey.

Motorcycles and Classes

This past week has been loaded up with photography classes here in Phoenix.  There were several introduction classes, a fine art nudes workshop and some private lessons.   Next week is just as busy with more intro classes and another fine art nude workshop.

In between I had a chance to shoot some motorcycles featuring some cool new lighting.

Fun week

So many things happened this week it was great.  I did a shoot for the feature story in Automotive News.  Can’t wait to get a copy.  I love automotive photography.

Taught several photography workshops this past weekend.  Both fine art nudes and pin-up photography.  Everyone had a great time.  This week I will be teaching an introduction to photography class for DSLR’s.   Click the workshop link to learn more about it.

A few boudoir photography clients came in for their photo shoots.  More lucky guys out there will be getting some great gifts.

And a few more maternity and newborn photography clients came in for their shoots.  You never know when the newborns shoots are going to happen, so it’s always a pleasant surprise.

I have a large charity pin-up shoot scheduled for next weekend.   It’s going to be a blast.

 

 


Lambos, Boudoir and Newborns

I love to photograph cars, so when I had the chance to photograph this Lamborghini Murcielago I was more than happy.  Automotive photographers love it when we get the chance to shoot exotic cars.

Took some fun boudoir photos which I gave a retro look.  I like the to every once in awhile have some fun and give a photo a unique look that varies from my standard styling.

And I ended the week with a newborn photography session.  It was twin girls who were not even a week old yet.   I should have a photo for you to see with the parent permission next week.


A week of Variety

Variety is the spice of life so the say and it sure helps keep the creative eye working in photography. I love it when I have to change up my thinking from one shoot to the next. This week, this lucky photographer shot maternity, headshots, boudoir, pin-up, products and even automotive.

Frequently I will have clients come in and wish to combine to photographic needs. Often I will have a boudoir client who also needs to have a headshot done. Boudoir is often also combined with modeling.

By combining a clients needs in to a single photography session, I can give my clients some great value.

Of course one of my favorite parts of my job is when a photographer is needed to shoot an amazing car like this Ferrari Testarossa. This car was on-site for a fashion photography class that was being held at my studio and I took a few minutes to grab photographs of this beauty.

Next week is already jammed packed with a great variety. I can’t wait to see what else is on the horizon.


Busy week

Have some fine art nude photographs showing in a local photography gallery starting this Friday. I always enjoy these type of events as I get to see a wide variety of work from other photographers.

I also did some automotive photography this week, which I really enjoy. This AMX’s color just popped in the studio.

Good news is next week has a full schedule too. So I should have some fun images to show from those shoots too.


Street Rod – 1937 Ford Roadster

Custom street rods are really fun to photograph.  This car shown here is a frequent show winner and as a photographer I felt lucky to shoot such an amazing looking car.   The removable hardtop made getting a shot of the interior so much easier.  Of course the suicide doors just create a great overall look.

Custom Mercedes in Black

This week I faced the fun challenge of photographing a black custom Mercedes in my studio.  As with all black cars, dealing with the many reflections was key to success.

It is always worth the effort as I really enjoy photographing cars.  From classic hotrods to amazing exotic cars, each presents their own set of challenges for the photographer.  Finding the perfect angles to show off the curves of a fender, or just the right type  light to bring out details hidden in shadows are just a few of the problems I enjoy solving.

I’ve got another great car coming into the studio soon that will provide the opportunity to use some new techniques.
