Hi Guys,

As mentioned before, I want to set up a motorcycle shoot in a studio. I pretty much have found a location in downtown Toronto and the motorcycle bike to rent.

Need to confirm everything with both places regarding pricing. Just rough estimate is about 70 to 75 bucks per person if we split the cost for the whole day. Will be renting the commercial light setup too. If not we can settle to our own strobes to save cost.

Will be renting studio for whole day so there will be about 4 sessions. Will update all infos in a bit. Studio Booked in August 11th.

Studio Booked: http://www.s1group.ca/index.cfm?pagepat ... IO&id=6746

Motorcycles in mind: Japanese motorcycle or Harley

Models to be announced.

Hi Everybody,

I've updated the shooting date to August 11th. Never realized 4th is a long weekend. The studio booked is at S1 studio in downtown Toronto.

Trying to see if we can setup two bikes here in the studio. If not, we definitely can setup a second background for model shoot.

Images or info for the studio: http://www.s1group.ca/index.cfm?pagepat ... IO&id=6746

Man really...lol...

I find most people are away or busy in the summer. Well, just to share what I got so far. This is the bike that we are able to carry up to the studio. Leave your thoughts!

Sorry to nitpick, but I'm a rider... I'm kind of guessing at what you are trying to say above; sport bike or a Harley cruiser? Not all Japanese bikes are sport bikes (they have cruisers too), nor are all sport bikes Japanese.

In fact most pasta rockets are very photogenic.

I recently looked into motorcycle rental to do my M test and it is insanely expensive... also most rental bikes aren't treated very well so they may not be very photogenic

true. The bike I am looking forward to rent look polished and new so unless they gave me a different bike than what I saw.
