Bikes needed for a photo shoot

R1_Demon · 03-27-2008, 10:45 PM

Hey all,

I'm trying to set up a photo shoot on Saturday, April 5th. I'm hoping to get two bikes for this shoot. Mind you, the shoot is most likely going to be early. Probably starting at 6:30 AM or so. Yes...sunrise or a bit after. That's when the best outside lighting is available.

I haven't figured out the exact location as of yet. I'm thinking maybe it'll be down near Boulder City, but not positive yet. I have to check out a couple of locations this weekend first.

If you're interested, please post up here and/or send me a link or pic of your bike. I can't have one where half the plastics are ripped off or something. I'm sure you understand. However, if there are certain scratches or what not, please advise and I'll see what I can do. If they are easy for me to clone out, I might use your bike.

Anyway, please let me know so I can set all this up. Oh, and I normally do take some shots of just the bike and you will get a CD of those shots. Can't really release the model shots to you because she'll be under a modeling release/contract with me. I'm sure some will get posted here if all goes well.

Thanks for reading,
Mat

PS I have done some shoots with SCS member's bikes and ladies here before, so if you need references, I'd hope they would be happy to post up about the experiences.

Perfect opportunity for some snail trails on your seat

Wish I could help you out Mat but to everyone else out there--help a brotha out as Mat does some awesome work

I'd love to see my ST1300 in some photos but thats just way too early for me. I'd have to find an alarm clock.

rushWPMCLVC · 03-28-2008, 02:52 AM

is this open to any one or just club members?

here is a thread with my bike.

Joe - I appreciate the post up bro. I definitely loved shooting with your bike last time.

Would need an alarm clock, eh Will?

I'm sure when things get going again, I'll have some afternoon shoots for you to participate in.

Rush - No, it's not limited to SCS members. Although I do like to shoot the members bikes because I was one before (and lobbying to become part of the club again, actually), but I'm not limiting it just to SCS bikes. However, how clean is your bike? My shots generally show EVERYTHING on the bike...so if it's dirty, I won't be able to use the shots. However, if it is clean, yours is a possibility.

Mr. Brown - Got your PM and will call you tomorrow. No, I'm not limiting my shoots to just sport bikes. Actually, it's kind of funny because I need some "other" bike shoots as well. It's just usually that most people with sport bikes pipe up. LOL I'll call ya tomorrow about this, but from looking at the photos, your bike is in.

Thanks to everyone that's posted so far. I appreciate it!

i8acobra · 03-28-2008, 09:07 PM

Got an '00 ZX-9R in immaculate condition. Ask anyone who's seen it.

R1_Demon · 03-28-2008, 09:30 PM

The one that's on your avatar?

vegaseric · 03-28-2008, 10:15 PM

I'll have to see what's up next week, but I may be able to bring the Busa out if needed:

R1_Demon · 03-28-2008, 10:36 PM

Eric,

At some point, I definitely would like to shoot the mighty Busa!

Maybe I'll save that for an afternoon shoot and I could get yours and Will's bike together for an afternoon shoot. We'll have to see how this next weekend shoot goes first. I'm just worried about being way rusty after taking so long off from shooting.

I don't want to embarrass myself TOO bad.

What would be really cool is if any of the girls of SCS wanted to shoot at some point and we could get them in some SCS gear.

Kinda like when I was shooting for/with SportbikeS.com. I'd use his gear on the models so he at least had a few he could advertise on the site...could do the same here...totally up to you guys though...I only work here. ;-)

That would be awsome!!!

Depending on dates and times I've got the "X" bike (Buell).

SynCitizen · 03-30-2008, 06:54 PM

My R1 has some trick parts and is pretty clean. At least on one side. .... Had a dually pickup knock it over recently. I may have ALL the scratched parts replaced before your shoot day hopefully, but one side is spotless.

R1_Demon · 03-30-2008, 07:16 PM

Nice bike Curtis...very nice.

Right now I have Mr. Brown in with his Boulevard and waiting for an answer from Aaron (PM sent back, Aaron).

I try and only have two bikes per model on the shoot. However, I do want at least two bikes. Aaron said he would get back to me today (Sun) or tomorrow (Mon).

If I don't hear from him, I'll give you a shout about your R1. Would love to shoot with it soon.

The shoot date is this Saturday, April 5th, meeting at 6:30 am....yes, that is morning time folks. LOL

Mustang · 03-31-2008, 08:42 PM

Yo Matt what's shaking. Are you back in Vegas?

R1_Demon · 03-31-2008, 08:50 PM

Hey there Mr. Josh,

Yup...things didn't work out in Riverside to my liking, so poof...I'm back here in Vegas. LOL

Picked up shooting again...hopefully it sticks this time.

Maybe I'll finally learn to get good.

What's shakin' with you two bro? Things going well?

Mustang · 04-01-2008, 05:39 PM

Things are going good here. I am trying to make it out to Pahrump next weekend so if I make it I will let you know

R1_Demon · 04-01-2008, 11:14 PM

Cool deal bro!

As a side note to my own thread (LOL), I have two bikes for this Saturday's shoot.

I may need another bike or two for Saturday the 26th, but it's not confirmed as of yet. However, it will probably be an afternoon shoot.

Thanks, ya my bike is clean now. not in perfect condition. has been downed on both sides good from the front i looks good. will keep in touch..

R1_Demon · 04-05-2008, 04:48 PM

I wanted to say thank you to Howard for bringing out his bike to the shoot today.

Unfortunately Aaron couldn't make it due to some "Murphy's Law" incidents

But I think the shoot went very well. I believe I'm setting another one up in about 3 weeks (26th), so I'll see who might be interested in that one. It will be an afternoon shoot...don't know the location as of yet.

Again, thanks for all the help, Howard.

I do appreciate it...even if you did have to mop up the model's suntan lotion.

Believe me when I tell you this, it was all my pleasure.

I sure wish I spoke Russian though, I found that rather sexy!!

She was Russian? Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! I'm seriously thinking about pushing my bike over on purpose. I heart Russian girls. Oh well. I'll be ready for the next one.

wish i had seen this earlier, I need a good excuse to head up to vegas.

04-08-2008, 01:36 PM

I don't think Matt can post up any of the pics of the shoot because he is contracted with the model. Sorry, guess you had to be there..

unless the laws have changed, he has artistic rights to the images he shoots. Where he cannot make profit off the images if he was hired for a job, however I believe he can use them for portfolio use and self promotion. But I haven't shot in a while so I have not been keeping up on the latest legislations.

R1_Demon · 04-08-2008, 09:54 PM

Broc,

You are correct. I do own the copyrights to my images, including those shot this past weekend. However, I do wait until I have everything settled with the model and they get what I have promised them for the shoot. Once that transaction has been completed, then I don't mind posting up some of the shots and even posting a link to the others.

I just try and give the model "first crack" at them, so to speak. I just do this out of respect for the model. Not that she would probably ever think to look here (I don't reveal my sources. LOL) for the photos, but just out of courtesy and practice.

I will post photos...I promise.

Oh and Aaron...she was definitely full on Russian. Looks and all.

Oh and I even have bribe pics of Howie actually cleaning the car for me. LOL So, don't think if you volunteer your bike that you'll just be sitting there.

i8acobra · 04-10-2008, 12:11 AM

Since our "quote" button seems to be missing...

"Oh and Aaron...she was definitely full on Russian. Looks and all."

Gettin' all warm and fuzzy just imagining it. My dream girl is a hot, nekkid Russian girl in nothing but a fur coat.

R1_Demon · 04-10-2008, 12:42 AM

Alrighty...

For all you nice folks that waited....here are a few shots from the shoot. Link to other shots listed below.

Oh and for those of you that don't think Howie actually worked on the photo shoot, he gets the first shot out of the gate!

Now onto the modeling shots.

Sweet, now I have proof that I have worked...

vegaseric · 04-10-2008, 09:00 AM

Nice shots Mat! She's a looker... i bet that accent sounds good on her!

Is that a 335i?

LilBitDvl · 04-10-2008, 09:04 AM

Great shots as always Mat! Mat always takes care of his models. I can vouch for that!

R1_Demon · 04-11-2008, 01:08 AM

Eric - Yes, I believe when I looked at the back it was a 335i. It was the model's sister's car. It was a "last minute" part of the shoot. I didn't know I was going to shoot her with the car until she asked right at the end. I didn't like the shoot location with the car, but had no real other choice since the BC police were kind enough to kick us out of our original shoot location.

First time I've ever had a problem with the police at a shoot location. Normally they are cool when I talk to them and they let me finish off the shoot, even if I have to lessen my time.

Thank you for the compliment, Miss Les. I appreciate that.

04-11-2008, 06:10 AM

I believe I didn't let you know myself that the pictures were great, The whole thing was a great time and I would do it again. Thanks Mat!!

R1_Demon · 04-11-2008, 11:59 PM

Thank you sir.

twisted · 04-12-2008, 07:02 AM

Does anyone remember this model and the story behind the photo shoot??

Wizard I know you do.

PS
