Before spending all my spare time culling motorcycle photos for the joy of internet goers, I did a lot of art directing and styling for fashion shoots- makeup artistry, wardrobe styling and the like. Sometimes the photographs I want to share have components of motorcycling but are nothing more than fashion shoots. This is one of those cases.

A total 11/17 of those images are mine, as well. Wow! It’s kind of hilarious. In a “you’ve got to be joking” sort of way. It looks like a habit of theirs. Here’s a photo of me working on the BSA they ripped and reposted… Continue Reading »
