1984 Kawasaki Z1300 - Retrobike Magazine Photoshoot
After almost 4 months of strict lockdown here in Melbourne, we were finally let outside in late October 2020. This magazine photoshoot was my first shoot back after this long break and i must admit it did feel foreign and i did feel a bit rusty.
These images were taken for the January 2021 Issue of Retrobike Magazine which should be hitting newsagents in the next 2 weeks. Once again thanks to the bikes owner Greg for having such an eclectic range of bikes in his collection. You can check out Gregs Triumph X75 that was featured in a past issue of the same magazine from the following link

Historic Sidecar Racers - Promotional Sponsor Portrait Photoshoot
Michelle and Julie are two badass local sidecar racers who compete in the historic P3 class on their hand built Norton Atlas P3 sidecar. I had previously shot this Norton Sidecar for Michelle and husband Tim few years before and was excited when Michelle contacted me again late last year for another shoot.
Below are some of my favourite shots from this shoot. Head over to the Classic Wheels & Spokes, Otway Hydroblasting & Metal Works page to check out Tim and Michelles latest work. Im looking forward to shooting 2 more of their bike builds later this month.
If you or your team are looking for some promotional photographs for yourself or your sponsors get in touch today and let’s chat about making it happen.

Restored Classic Ducati Scrambler
This beautifully restored 250cc classic Ducati Scrambler was photographed recently for the April Issue of Retrobike Magazine. The current owner bought the bike over the internet from Northern Italy and had it shipped all the way to the other side of the world here in Australia. A great looking restored retro bike that would be a whole lot of fun on the streets.
Broadford Bike Bonanza 2019
The Shannons Insurance Broadford Bike Bonanza is an annual bike weekend held at the Broadford State Motorcycle Complex for all bikes Pre 1993. This years event was held over the easter long weekend. After many years of saying i would go I finally went and was not disappointed. What an eclectic mix of bikes on display across MX track, Road Circuit, trials, enduro and the flat track speedway. Here is just a small sample of what i captured during the few hours i was there. It’s been a very dry Australian summer and I feel the pictures really represent that dusty, grassroots racing feel.
Norton Sidecar Photoshoot
1962 NORTON ATLAS SIDECAR PHOTOSHOOT
This hand built 1962 750cc Norton Atlas Side Car is built, owned and raced by Tim from Classic Wheels & Spokes, Otway Hydroblasting & Metal Works. Tim is an amazing craftsman and his workshop is full of customers custom side car and race bike projects.
This husband and wife team race regularly in the Australian classic sidecar championship and theres no doubt this bike is the best looking in the field.
Tim contacted me earlier this year about a shoot of this particular machine however we had to wait a few months to arrange a time as the bike had several races interstate. On this particular shoot we spent a few hours outside at one of my favourite locations soaking up the golden hour lighting for some more natural light photography. When the sun ducked down over the horizon we then headed back to the studio for the indoor shots.
Keep an eye out for this sidecar as it will be racing the Shannons Southern Classic on the 3rd and 4th November 2018 at Broadford and the Australian Historic Road Racing Championship on the 9th-11th again at Broadford.

Vintage Indian Racebike
VINTAGE INDIAN RACE BIKE- PHOTOSHOOT
Shot this amazing Indian Race Bike recently for a client and what an absolutely stunning machine it is.
The bikes owner Tim contacted me about a shoot for two for his bikes. This is just one of his many bikes and is going to received a bit of a restoration later this year as it wears the scars of race track battles. I love the well used look of this bike and absolutely thrilled with how the images from this photoshoot turned out. We started this photoshoot in the late afternoon using a mix of the beautiful golden hour sun and off camera flash to create some punchy images. Once the sun set we retreated to a local workshop to create the dramatic red smoke shot.
What blows my mind about this bike and rider is that it laps Broadford circuit faster than a lot of modern Sportsbike riders would. Not only is the throttle on the left hand side of the handlebar but the bike runs a Girder fork front en, this thing must be one hell of a hairy ride. Hats off to the legends that race these things at the speed they do. This particular bike is owned and race by Tim from Classic Wheels & Spokes, Otway Hydroblasting & Metal Works
They specialise in building classic Sidecars and work on all kinds of classic bikes.
Tim and Michelle also brought along their Norton Sidecar which i shot, keep your eyes on my blog as ill be dropping those photos in the next few days.
