Automotive brand photography in Columbus, Ohio

Client: Second Rodeo Motorcycles

Duration: 2 Days

Working alongside Second Rodeo Motorcycles, a small, independent motorcycle shop in Columbus, Ohio, I created a photography library that captured the craftsmanship, attitude, and lifestyle behind their custom builds. The goal was to produce authentic motorcycle brand photography that reflected both urban and rural riding environments.

Day 1 of the shoot took place in downtown Columbus, using industrial streets and city textures to highlight the grit and daily use of Second Rodeo’s motorcycles. These images were about real-world-use. These bikes aren't meant to sit in a garage all year.

Day 2 moved outside Columbus into a rural Ohio setting, where open roads showcased  the connection between rider and machine. The contrast between city and countryside helped tell a complete brand story and provided Second Rodeo with versatile content for web, social, and marketing use.

A fast paced shoot, the outdoors, and motorcycles. What more could you ask for?
