While you want some outstanding impressive photos this is not an art contest nor is it an album of family photos. Make sure your bike is the only one in your shots. What you want to do is show your bike in the best light possible and that means crisp clear photos. Make sure your shots are in focus. Choose clean, uncluttered backgrounds, grass works well. A wall with light but not white paint and no texture makes a great backdrop. Pay attention to lighting, shoot with the sun behind you and avoid using a flash.

Take lots of photos, to get 7 really good shots you could take 20 or more photos. Work with all angles, shoot from a high angle, shoot level with the bike and shoot low looking up at the bike.

First, drop down on one knee and get a series of photos starting at the front of the bike. Next, move in close, real close, and get detailed images of features like the engine, emblems, custom paint and pinstripe, wheel rims, gear shift, foot pegs, handlebars and other unique items the bike may have. Remember to photograph any special details of the bike. Make sure to photograph all modifications and bolt on or custom work that has been made to the bike.

Get some over views of your bike by shooting from a chair of small step stool. You can stand on anything available to get your shooting eye up to six or eight feet if possible. Once again, move all around the bike at this bird’s-eye height, getting all the shots you can. The advantage of digital photography is whether you shoot one or one hundred images, the cost is the same. So get all the angles and bracketed exposes that you can.

If you wish you can make arrangements for us to shoot you bike professionally. Bring your bike to us by 10 am any day and we will be happy to photograph no charge.
