Troy Woods & I met up to shoot some promo shots for his racing season. Not only do we share common interests in the photography industry, but we both have an appreciation for racing. I’m more of an auto racing fan, but I totally dig the MotoGP action too. Troy races a Suzuki GSX-R 1000, that thing’s a beast. Read more about Troy & his bike on his blog.
Gear:
Two Hensel Integra 500 strobes, power generator, my two Canon 580ex II flashes, and 5 Pocket Wizards. The two Hensel lights provided the main light source to cover Troy and the side of the bike, the other covered the front of the bike and Troy. The smaller Canon flashes added accents, one pointed at the back of the bike, the other at the front of the bike.
I even got some behind-the-scenes action of us setting up using my Flip Mino HD video camera. Check it out!

- Troy’s GSX-R 1000 for racing… NOT street legal anymore =)

- Even got some action shots around town… nah, just kidding =)

- I can only imagine what a rush it must be to drive one of these!
-
- Couldn’t have asked for a better day for this shoot. The sun was strong and the weather was perfect.
-
- Yes my friends, this is why I dig the low directional light of a sunset!
) Love the lighting.
