I worked in one of my OKC commercial photography customers booth at the Oklahoma City Thunder Run motorcycle rally this past weekend capturing “biker portraits”. I set up a white backdrop and a single small flash for fill, and captured images of bikers as they strolled through the event. Most bikers are loathe to have their photo taken so it is always a challenge to entice them into the booth for a photo shoot. The sun was very bright and no available shade nearby so dealing with the high contrast levels was a challenge. I typically had maybe 5-10 seconds to capture a photo before they moved on, so I had to work quick to try and get them to show some emotion in the photo rather than just a staid stern biker look.
