This past May saw Motofish in Park City, UT and southern California shooting for GT and Mongoose bikes. It was a great shoot. The Utah portion took place at Deer Valley and Park City - ride the chair up and try to keep up with pro riders Chris and Nick Van Dine, Steve Romaniuk, Andrew Cho, and Hans Rey (Well, maybe not keep up but don't make them wait too long.). Motofish was asked to bring a look and feel to the images that had some authenticity but were outside of the typical mountain bike style of photography. A very fun shoot the results of which can be seen below.
Motofish recently wrapped up a shoot for Woolrich. The shoot took place over the course of a few days and highlighted the best of Washington State; we kayaked at Salt Creek, hiked in the Olympic National Park and fished for trout on the Yakima. We had a great crew and a lot of fun.
Motofish traveled to LA to shoot some stock this past week. The shoot was centered around health, beauty, wellness, and boutique resort subject matter. Per usual shooting in LA is a breeze - killer locations, great talent and reliable weather; a virtual photography lay-up. The location we found for this shoot was a modern home in Sherman Oaks. Even after ten hours of shooting and close to 8500 frames we both felt like we could go back for at least one more day.
Every year while working on the Raleigh catalog Motofish gets the opportunity to shoot at a counter culture bike event. Last year we shot the Dead Baby Downhill in Seattle and this year it was the Westside Invite. The Westside is essentially the bike messenger olympics for the Northwest; one handed trackstands, skid contests and an alleycat are the highlights. The Westside was the perfect place to shoot Raleigh's new Gridlock bike.
