HUSQVARNA TX300 - DRIVEWAY AND GARAGE PHOTOSHOOT

How to get creative when you are stuck at home?

Being stuck at home during Melbournes lockdown i decided to practice some ideas i’ve had in my head for a while. My home driveway and garage are not ideal places to shoot as they have cluttered unflattering backgrounds. So with these photos i decided to use a combination of my Godox Studio lights, water smoke and coloured gels to make a boring location into something a bit more eye catching. Check out the final results below and also a short BTS video of how these shots were created.

Ducati V4 Speciale

This Italian beauty is not your average run of the mill Ducati nor is this your run of the mill Ducati owner for that matter.
The Ducati Panigale V4 Speciale featured here is no 1111 of 1500 built making it quite a rare bike. The owner booked a private shoot to capture the stunning lines, details and aura surrounding this exotic machine as he is offering it for sale. Like the images you see?

Husqvana Nuda 900R Cafe Racer - Magazine Photo Shoot

JOSH’S CUSTOM HUSQVANA NUDA 900R CAFE RACER

Back on a warm January afternoon in 2019 i had the pleasure of shooting Josh’s custom Husqvarna Nuda 900R Cafe Racer for the April issue of Retrobike Magazine.

After a small accident and a generous insurance payout Josh decided to do something different with his already very rare Nuda. He decided to convert it into a modern Cafe Racer with a custom kit made specifically for the bike by a German parts specialist called LSL. The bikes suspension and tuning was also been enhanced by the experts at Race Center. Theres a lot more to the story of this bike which can be found in its magazine feature but for now enjoy the photos.

These images were featured in the April 2019 Issue of Retro Bike Magazine.

BMW R Nine T Stunt Photoshoot

Sunset shoot with BMW Sponsored Stunt Rider ‘Lukey Luke’

Last week i had the pleasure of shooting with Australia’s top Stunt Rider and all round legend Lukey Luke. Luke recently signed on with BMW Motorrad as their Stunt Rider and brand ambassador a first of their kind in Australia. So naturally we headed out to capture some images of Luke doing what he does for his new branding. Featured here is the brand new BMW R Nine T ‘Racer’ being put through its paces and doing things it was never designed to do.

I’m excited that these images are going to be featured in the official BMW Motorrad Australia press release and marketing material. It’s always a pleasure to work with someone as extremely talented as Luke as he makes getting that shot so easy, once he gets his BMW F800R Stunt Bike finished we will be bringing you some more great shots.

MV Agusta 'Pirelli Edition' and Stunt Rider

A lazy Sunday afternoon chasing some golden hour lighting with the MV Agusta 2018 Limited Edition Pirelli 800RR Brutale with sponsored stuntman Lukey Luke.  We only had an hour to quickly whip up some images in the fading sunlight. This bike is absolutely stunning a piece of art with the performance to match its looks and if you look closely enough you can tell my his expression that Lukey just might be enjoying himself.

Murray Valley Track Day

I recently had the chance to get a taste of the Murray Valley Training Centre and ride this awesome little track. For a few years now i have heard only great things about the track and it sure didn't disappoint. It's so technical and tight but so so much fun once you link up all the turns correctly. Its mainly a 2nd gear track and teaches great smooth throttle control as you can only use full throttle 10% of the time and i only click up into 3rd for a few seconds. The track is hard work (compared to a larger circuit) on a 1000cc but was much easier than i expected which i attribute to the amazing Race Centre suspension setup i'm running on my RSV4.

When i wasn't out on track i decided to snap a few pics around the pit exit to practice some slow shutter and rear curtain sync flash shots. The following images are just a few of them and dont cover the scope of a full days photographic coverage at the track.

I can’t wait to make the journey up to Murray Valley Training Co again as its an absolute blast and i can see it really improving my riding. Big thanks to the legends that make it all happen.

Head to the Murray Valley Training Centre website for more info and their upcoming dates
