Motorcycle and Automotive Photography

Motorcycle and automotive photography is my passion and my specialty. It's what I enjoy doing the most, and it's what I do best.

If your ass isn't straddling or leaning on a prized piece of the finest that Milwaukee, Detroit or Japan has to offer, I'm probably not interested in taking your picture. There are dozens of portrait photographers who would love the opportunity to have you in their studios.

But if you are looking for someone to capture your favourite ride, with or without your favourite guy or gal, Riverpirate Photography is for you.

The Riverpirate Experience

I shoot your ride until I get images I am happy with. If you're not satisfied at the end of shooting, I will shoot more until you are, or you can have your deposit back.

Once I have what I need to start creating your package, you tell me what prints you like or I can create a series of images for you to choose from.

Once your portfolio of unedited images is together, I lightly edit them, the key word being lightly. If you're looking for a series of images that are significantly edited in Photoshop, with skies and backgrounds digitally edited in, or HDR imaging, look somewhere else. That's not what I do.

Once the images are edited, I will present them to you and you order exactly what you want, nothing more. Unlike some, I won't print or edit more, or create extra products in hopes you'll pad the package with add ons.

Motorcycle and automotive portfolio packages start at $175.00 and it's unlikely you'll find a better deal without sacrificing the quality of the results. I also won't compromise on the quality of what I put my work in, so don't ask.

If you like what you see and want to know more, drop me an email. If not, thanks for stopping by. If you know others who might be interested, please pass the site address on.

Discounts are available for group sessions.

I am currently in the process of searching for a suitable location to establish the Riverpirate Photography Automotive studio. If you or someone you know has a suitable location for rent, drop me an email.

Thanks.

About Riverpirate Photography

I've been a biker since 2005 when I purchased Lucy, my old Honda. 

I got my start in photography in 2008 when I purchased a Sony Alpha DSLR, and a year or so later I upgraded to a Canon 40D and handed the Alpha to my sons. My partner Robyn shoots with a Sony A 330, which she loves.

In 2010 I decided to join my loves of motorcycles and photography, and shortly thereafter I traded in the 40 D for a Canon EOS 7D. As you can see, the upgrade was worth every cent.

My kit includes a 18 - 75 mm lens, a 70 - 200 lens, a 50 mm lens, and a Lowepro Flipside 400 AW backpack which is by far the coolest accessory ever. (It has it's own raincoat).

In May 2012 I picked up my newest ride, a 2005  Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster, and riding has never been better for me, Robyn, and the boys.

Life takes a lot of unexpected turns along the broken road, but in the end, you end up where you're supposed to be. 

I am finally here, and with me I bring you, Riverpirate Photography.

I hope you enjoy the rides.
