Craig (aka Dad) | Portraits on a Race Bike

My Dad Craig owns & runs a motorcycle repair shop in Brantford, Ontario called Cycle Pro, along with my Step-Mom Cathy.  He also drag races, and I recently saw a few snapshots from a day at the track.  It got me really inspired, and so Justin and I headed out to the Brantford/Paris area to do a shoot on a race bike.

I used a three light setup here, with an umbrella and two kicker lights to give some definition and find detail in the bike.  I love the surreal feeling of these images.  We got really lucky with the sky, which actually wasn’t that dramatic, but with the right lighting it really popped.

If you have a bike and are looking for fantastic service, check out my Dad’s shop – http://www.cyclepro.ca or become a fan of Cycle Pro on Facebook.
