I've been a freelance photographer in the motorcycle industry for over 10 years, and previously did work as a wedding and portrait photographer. I've had numerous features published in regional, national, and international magazines, including QUICK THROTTLE (Midwest) BIKER, EASYRIDERS, IN THE WIND (U.S.) and OzBIKE (Australia) just to name a few. I've also worked with many custom motorcycle builders and parts suppliers and manufacturers for various commercial projects through out the industry.
Most of my work is done within the Midwest, and the majority of it being shot in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Missouri. I make the annual trip to Sturgis, South Dakota every August for the Sturgis Rally, and spend most of my time there covering the event and shooting various features for publications.
Along with photographing motorcycles, I ride them and work on them on a regular basis, all while creating my own custom bikes. In short, I pretty much live and breath motorcycles.
I'm continually looking for new faces to model for various published projects, and welcome any inquiries from models that might have an interest in this style. Most shoots require bikini and lingerie style clothing and accessoreis, and although some shoots also require topless shots, not all of my projects do, so if bikini / lingerie is your limit, drop me a line anyway.
Thanks!
Nate
