Very excited to have been awarded a Gold in the monthly SWPP competitions, with the below image of the Harley Davidson detail image of the tank.
There are only a handful of golds awarded from thousands of entries, and these go forward towards the 2016 year awards.
Loved capturing this amazing motorcycle. Although the location shows the bike in another position it shows how looks can be deceiving. The location for this shoot was in an industrial area, an entry lane between two buildings.
Many would not look twice at the location, but I loved how this could be turned into a more Gothum City style street with lighting.
Enjoy
It was exciting to photograph Shane “Shakey” Byrne’s Harley Davidson at Shaw Harley Davidson . Lighting this was pure joy, shaping the different areas of the bike.
I had a small area to work in in the work shop, wanting to keep the bike as the main feature in the image I set the area up as if it was in a studio.

This custom motorcycle has been beautifully made with parts from both Performance Machine and Roland Sands Design .
Check out the custom side to Shaw Harley Davidson and their facebook page to see more of the awesome custom bikes they are working on, or completed.
One of the main things that clients seem to worry about and often put off having their commission booked in, is finding locations that are going to look awesome with their motorcycle.
With this in mind I am creating this series on the blog showing the behind the scene’s image of the image taken on my iphone (the image represents what the eye see’s when looking at that location) this allows me to show you any location can be awesome with the right lighting and technique.
My brain doesn’t see what everyone else sees it goes on a crazy journey of what this location can be turned into to match the motorcycle and stand out.
The first of the series is from the shoot with Shane Shakey Byrne’s Custom Harley Davidson. Photographed in a warehouse surrounded by other motorcycles.
I spent the day the other week photographing Harley Davidson’s at Shaw Harley-Davidson near Lewes. They have an amazing place with a beautiful show room, custom workshop and a section for parts.
One of the bikes that caught my eye and I couldn’t help but want to photograph was the Road King 2016, this is the standard model.
The blue on the paintwork was very eye catching and the badge on the tank just wanted to be photographed.
Even the Petrol Cap needed photographing
