or up.. either way


I'm looking for cars, bikes etc etc to do a personal photo shoot.

I'm a real keen amateur, trying to go more pro. I've got some gear and I wanna use it. So for 10 bucks, you get 10 shots or so. How's that? Already lined up a couple of nice bikes, and a couple of classic US muscle cars, just need some more stuff.. That, or tell someone you know, who might like a few shots of their ride, be it whatever. The 10 bucks goes to the gear and fuel for the genie and getting it all there etc.

First shoot, be a dark moody one. Under cover of a carpark or warehouse, still to be picked. So suggestions around Auckland would be welcomed. Be early October.

Second shoot would be out in the country, on the twisty roads, the odd action/scenic shot. Dependent on how the first one goes, but probably early December.

All venues, times and dates will be disclosed nearer the time to those interested, via email/pm.

If you're seriously interested, then flick me a message with where you are, and what you've got. Also if there's any special considerations or ideas you may have.

As much as I'd wanna shoot everyone and everything, it might get busy, so at the mo, I'm thinking of the more 'one of a kind' or real nice machines. No offense, but if it isn't too wow, then it might not get shot. Say anyway, who knows. Or something different, get a bunch of bikes and may be shoot that, like a shed load of CBR250s etc. Dunno, just suggest away and who knows..

$10 for 10 shots. Cool. See you at Ruapuna on the 30th?

Seriously you should have a few takers for that. Good move.

Hmm, might know someone with a Aston Martin DB9, Ducati 1098s Tri colore, and a Ducati Desmosidici (not here yet).. is that what your after? lol
Make some good piccies, specially the DB9

Well aren't we just Mr Lifestyles (friends) of the rich and famous

[R6_kid:Me]

I said I might know someone. Dont think he wants any pictures of a tired R6

Try GSXR1000K3 in pieces.

I'm using the empty cylinders as pen holders except #3 and #4 which are being used as muffin/baking cases

[skidMark]

Already got one of those

but i will only let you if it has some FEMALE hottie in next to nothing all over it

Would you like the hottie provided for you? Does she have to talk to you? Would you be prepared to keep your mouth shut if a hottie were supplied?

that wasn't my intention.. I just want to take pics, and need the practice, so i thought it'd be a bit of an incentive to motivate someone to get to me, so i could practice on some nice vehicles, there's no intention of harm at all! I kinda guessed that because it's 'cheap', then they aren't going to be full pro shots. I may rethink all this tho, since i might ask specific people and spend more time with it, instead of half an hour of dicking around. And just wanted to us it as a base to build up a portfolio of work too. As much as I'd love to be in the industry and I love photography, i have no idea how I'd be able to get into it and make a living, so I hadn't really thought I'd be on the same level.
I will pm you tho

appologies to those who think the same, wasn't intended
