Trail Blazing

If you’re a long-time reader of my blog (ha), you should know I’m a road bike enthusiast. So it was about time that I did a serious shoot with a local professional biker. Rudy Napolitano of Team Helen’s was my first victim. He suggested a local Malibu road for the shoot, and it was amazing to say the least. Remote, twisty, breath-taking views, and 1-way traffic. Perfect. The original pics came out great, but you know me, I had to take them over the top with some photoshop love. This is my take on road bike photography:

For the first pic only a reflector was used, but the other 2 required heavy lighting with AlienBees and a few hours on photoshop. Hopefully more cycling projects come my way! I was jealous I wasn’t the one on the bike during the shoot More high-res shots can be found on my PEOPLE section of http://clintdavis.net
