1. Commentary:
I asked my model to ride a certain
track that we found in the wood. I
positioned myself in a ditch which
was facing the first corner and also
positioned myself so when the rider
came round the corner, he would
be in the bottom right of the shot
obeying the rule of thirds. I set my
camera so it would take multiple
images at once so I could capture

2. Commentary:
I told my model to ride down the
track, but this time I was positioned
further down so I could capture him
going into and going round the
corner. Once again my camera was
on multi-shot so it took multiple
photos at once. I positioned myself
so the image would obey the rule
of thirds and would also include
active space by having the rider
with space in front of him as well as

3. Commentary:
After a couple of runs I asked the
model/rider to get off the bike and
place it down I then positioned my self
very low looking up at the bike, from
here lowering the aperture and using
the manual focus on my camera I
made it so the frame and cranks in the
middle were more focused than other
part of the bike and the environment

mud on the bike, showing that the bike

had been used. This linked into my
brand as the slogan is ‘Go hard or Go
F-stop: f/3.5 home’ and because the fact that the
bike was photographed with mud

himself and the bike to the limit

4. Commentary:
I asked my model to ride the end of the
track where he would have to brake hard. I
positioned myself in some trees close to
where he would have to start braking, my
camera was on multi-shot so I would be
able to capture him skidding and had a
choice of my best photos I also used a fast
shutter speed and followed the rider as he
went passed this made the background of
the image blurred but kept the rider in
focus. I managed to capture him right at
the end of his skid and managed to show
leaves coming up as well as mark where he
had just skidded, I positioned myself so the
Shooting Details: photo would obey the rule of thirds and so
Location: Wheatacre wood, Bold dead space would be created this gives the
image meaning of where the rider has just

With this image I asked the
model/rider to place his helmet on
the floor, I knelt down so I was level
with it and lowering the aperture I
created a depth of field making the

6. Commentary:
In this image the rider was getting
ready to carry on doing more runs of
the track. By lowering the aperture I
was able to put more focus on the
bike and make surrounding content
slightly blurry but not enough for it
to become un-visible, I captured him

7. Commentary:
In this shot the rider is doing the
track but on one of the corners
there is a bump and I managed to
capture the rider in mid air by using
a fast shutter speed and the multi
shot setting on my camera . I was
positioned in a ditch to the right of
the track and took the photo as the
rider began to take the corner and
come through the trees, the trees
create a natural frame for the
image and the image obeys by the

8. Commentary:
In this image I captured the rider
just about to go round a corner. To
capture this I positioned myself in a
ditch next to the corner and put the
camera on multi shot so it would
take more than one image and I
could choose which one to use, I
also made sure the rider was
positioned to the right of the image
so it would obey the rule of thirds.
Shooting Details: This image also uses active space

To do this image I positioned the
model/rider on the edge of the hill
and made him look out into the
distance creating a look space this
makes the viewer not only look at
the rider but what he is looking at.
This image obeys the rule of thirds I
did this by positioning the model to
the left of the image. In this image
shows that the rider is eager to
