One of my favorite photographers, Giles Clement (website), took this gorgeous shot of a woman and a retro BMW with an old film camera.

Another shot of me from the MotoLady Thruxton Series by Giles Clement. 2005 Triumph Thruxton 900.

Aha! A photo I’ve not posted from the Thruxton series with Giles Clement. The 20x20 print is available amongst other beautiful motorcycle and women photos in the Illumiquest Etsy Shop.

The way I met Giles is quite awesome, really. Months ago, probably near the end of 2010, I started a group for lady riders on PNW Riders (a forum I use for Motorcyclists in the Pacific Northwest). I went looking for a photo to use for the group avatar, and googled female motorcyclists or something to that effect. One of the first images to pop up was this shot of Maureen and the 1962 BSA Lightning. I instantly fell in love, and used it as the group photo. As it often is with the internet, I had no idea who the photographer was. 

Later, in January, I started MotoLady. I then posted two more photos I found and asked readers if they knew who the photographer was. Very soon after I received two tips linking me to Giles’ flickr photostream. Turns out, he lives in Astoria Oregon. A coastal town a couple hours away from where I live in Portland.

At this time, I promptly wrote Giles something to the effect of, “HOLY CRAP I LOVE YOUR WORK WE HAVE TO SHOOT SOMETHING.” And a few months later, here we are. 

Since my motorcycles are both being fixed, and Giles is doing a British Bike series, we borrowed my co-worker Marc Friedman’s beautiful Triumph Thruxton. 

Behold, the power of the internet.

Woman on a Norton

[side note] I’m pretty sure this photographer has done a series of Women and Motorcycles. I’ve seen a very similar photo in style, with the same border. I want to know who did them- because they’re quite lovely. Thank you to readers easilyerased and truebikerspirit for sending me the crediting information for this photographer. I appreciate it!
