Portrait of a racer

[Vtec44]

Okay not really a portrait since you can't see his face. This picture is part of a promotional work for a local motorcycle racer. It's slightly under expose to mimic natural light.

Very nice; I really like the lighting and composition here, but I wish the bike wasn't on the stand.

Fantastic work as usual. Thank you so much for taking the time too post a lighting diagram! Little bits like this are very appreciated!

Thanks. Yeah it's pretty common official racer's portraits to have the bike on the stand. It's a bit more formal that way

Thanks. We all gotta start somewhere so I try to share what I do. I learned and got where I am because someone was willing to share what they do with me.

Understood; I've always been more of a fan of the side-stand, one hand on the near-side handlegrip, nearside foot on the ground pose. Regardless, it is an excellent shot.
