’83 Harley Shovelhead
I always wanted my own photo studio at my place, so over the winter months I chipped away at converting (most) of my garage into just that! A place where I can shoot anything I wanted, primarily I wanted to shoot motorcycles on white background as I’ve never done it and felt like it would be nice way to shoot them, keeping all the focus on the bikes themselves. At first I was shitty about having all the tyre marks over the freshly painted white floor but after shooting the first bike I liked how they were in there giving it a more organic look instead of removing them all in post.
First up is my 1983 Shovelhead, this was the first Harley I bought from a long time family friend. My dad and I fixed it up and got it running but after a few years I didn’t ride it that much after I built my second Harleybecause I didn’t like how it looked compared to the 2nd build. So I spoke to my old man and we worked on a plan to make some changes to the Shovel so that I was stoked on it every time I looked at it (which I am!).
