One of the more extensive shoots I have done lately was for Darwin Motorcycles and their Brass Ball Bobbers line. As one of my regular clients I had done quite a bit of work for them in the past. For this shoot we wanted more of a lifestyle approach – not show the bike so much but more of the lifestyle around the bike.
To do this we worked with Denna Armstrong at Flash Models for casting. She also helped with logistics and had hair and makeup available for the shoot. We were shooting in Bricktown, near downtown Oklahoma City, which required special permission. Luckily it is much easier to get that permission in Oklahoma City than in New York or other much larger metropolitan areas.
The models prepped at a nearby condo while I worked on setting up the lighting. This shot required seven lights to get the look we were after. This required two generators to run. Luckily the wind was calm so I didn’t have to worry about anchoring my lights. In all we spent about 3 hours on the shoot and got a variety of photos for the marketing folks at Darwin Motorcycles.
