Motorcycles Are Dangerous

Everybody usually says that motorcycles are more dangerous than cars. Well, I guess they are if you ride them, but during this portrait session the cars proved to be more dangerous. These images were made near the Alton bridge during the middle of the day. I used to ride on this particular road a lot and I don't remember there being as much traffic as there was during this session.

In order to get these pictures I had two edge lights set up behind the subject connected with a power cord. The main light was set up on a stand with a boom just above Mike's head. Every time a car started to come I had to move all the lights and Mike had to get out of the way. Once the cars were gone then we had to reposition, remeter the lights and try again. This whole process took well over an hour.
