Has Anyone Considered Professional Photography Of Their Bike?

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Dremmel, May 3, 2019.

  1. We all have plenty of happy snaps of our bikes but being part way through a build, my mind turns to capturing pictures of the bike when it is complete, both as a whole and in detail by a professional photographer in the right lighting etc plus a bit of creativity.

    This not only creates a record of your work but also the possibility of larger framed prints if desired. The image below is just an example but I have seen other studio shots etc.

    Has anyone gone down this path and if so was it worth it?

  3. If you check out the multistrada photo-&-video thread, some of the guys (and gals no doubt) do HDR. Which in certain situations does look amazbomb, if I were to show you my bike. People may faint with the muddy state..I don't do much riding in groups!

  10. aye, but the deal is, the photographer has to organize and pay for the valeting of the bike first.
    so far no takers.
    meh, their loss.
