Hey guys... I am a motorcyclist, though I own a Triumph not a Ducati. I'm an amateur photographer and I work quite a bit with attractive young models who are getting started in their careers and work with guys like me to get the attention of the professionals. So far, this arrangement has been working well.
I don't like to shoot with bikes you see every day. You won't see any Ninjas in my portfolio, and I don't even particularly like to shoot Harleys (though I have, once).
I like shooting with bikes you don't see every day. I'm hoping to meet people here with hot Ducatis and other bikes that would like to see some quality photographs taken, with and without attractive young models posing with them.
I'm also experimenting with some heavily manipulated images for new concept shoots:
I'm an amateur, I do this for fun. My models don't get paid, neither can I. The owners of the bikes that I borrow don't get paid, either. But they do get some fantastic high-resolution pictures of their bikes, touched up nicely, and with gorgeous farkle added.
If anyone is interested in loaning me the use of their bike for a few hours (no I don't need/want to ride it... just park it at the location and leave us with the bike a few hours) I'd be happy to hear from you. I'm looking for especially photogenic and uncommon motorcycles.
