Front Cover Feature for Motorcycle Trader Magazine Issue 350

Alex Jovanovic November 11, 2019

In September my photos were used for the front cover of Australian Publication Motorcycle Trader Magazine. Featuring some shots from my previous shoot with Richards Fleet of R1’s along with some new photos that were taken just for the magazine feature. Very glad that we could get Richards R1s featured in and immortalised in print as I have learned he has recently sold the 1998 Model.

Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT - Photoshoot with a priceless Race-Car

Alex Jovanovic November 6, 2019

Getting up close and personal with a very special race car

Recently I had the chance to shoot this Lamborghini, and not just any regular old run of the mill raging bull, this is the Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT GT1 ( Chassis # 5 of only 9 ever made). A purpose built race car built by Reiter Engineering in conjunction with Lamborghini to compere at LeMans. There are only a handful of parts that are shared with the road going supercar. Somehow this example found its way over here to Melbourne, Australia and somehow i had the good fortune to shoot it. This particular example was restored to its former 2004 American Le Mans Series glory by Jordan Roddy from Bespoke Motorcars in record time ( think serval weeks, not several months) and shipped over to the US just in time for its unveiling at the Monterey Car week back in August. Unfortunately this car will live the rest of its life in another country as 2 days after these photos were taken the car was sitting inside a shipping container bound for the US. Many thanks to Jordan and Vito from Polo Bodyworks for the opportunity to shoot this spectacular vehicle.

How were these images captured?

Shooting this scene was quite a challenge, although it's a beautifully presented machine the messy background and dull light/ shadow was not doing any favours in making the car stand out.
Unfortunately being a race car with no ground clearance it could not be moved more than a few meters. The location was the small industrial estate carpark where this Le Mans race-car was restored by @bespokemotorcars. To make the images a little more interesting i wanted to try something different. I took multiple exposures of the car with the Godox AD600 studio flash making sure to highlight certain areas.

The fog and fire looking smoke were produced by a modified insect fogger filled with diesel which created this haze. For the fire look i placed a Godox AD200 flash with a red gel behind the smoke to illuminate the plumes of fog/haze moving slowly from the front to the back of the car. Although it took a long time in post processing to layer all of these exposures to create the following images i'm very happy with the end result. I could not of achieved these images on the day without the help and expert advice from Ben Galli who i cant thank enough.

BMW Motorrad Australia - Stunt Rider Photoshoot

Alex Jovanovic October 29, 2019

Earlier this year I headed down to a local stunt spot with factory sponsored BMW Stunt Rider ‘Lukey Luke’. Luke recently signed on with BMW Motorrad as their Stunt Rider and brand ambassador a first of their kind in Australia. This was one of the first shakedown runs with his newly custom built BMW F800 stunt bike. Below are a few of my favourite captures from the morning.

Wildwood Rock Extreme Enduro

Alex Jovanovic July 9, 2019

Headed out to the Wildwood Rock Extreme Enduro course for one of their monthly practice days. It was great to see how this discipline of Enduro is gaining huge momentum with riders of all ages and skill levels giving it a go. Although i only managed to see a few riders in action ( as the course is huge) their skills in balance and control over these difficult obstacles was amazing.

Meguiar's MotorEx 2019

Alex Jovanovic June 26, 2019

MotorEx is Australia’s largest and most one of its prestigious car show. I headed down to the Melbourne Showgrounds back in May for a look at this special event. On display was everything from 6 second drag cars, half million dollar show cars, JDM classics, rusty hot rods, American and Australian muscle and a sprinkling of drift pigs in action. With over 400 cars on display and hundreds of exhibitors it was quite the spectacle.

It’s always tough work trying to get any decent photos at a car show as there are so many people and distractions in front of the cars so i didn’t really bother. I did manage to snap a few shots on the day, below you can view my favourites.

21 Years of the Yamaha R1

1998 - 2015 Yamaha R1 - Photoshoot

A few years ago private collector and club racer, Richard, contacted me to shoot his collection of Yamaha R1’s. Well fast forward 2 years after that shoot and he has expanded and updated his Yamaha collection. What we have here is his tribute to the original 1998 R1. And what better way to do that than an original 1998 Yamaha R1 and a 2015 R1M with custom paint and graphics in the 1998 R1 colour scheme. We also have his 2015 R1 Race Bike looking very different to the way it did back in 2017.

The images that follow are my tribute to these machines and one of my all time favourite motorcycle manufactures.

Broadford Bike Bonanza 2019

Alex Jovanovic May 7, 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.
