Well, finally, we are starting to shoot at our new studio here in Manchester. This place is actually a combination of a few businesses. Pro vehicle Photography is our motorcycle/car/truck/vehicle photography business, and the Studio of Photographic Arts (sophastudio.com) is our overall photography rental and teaching business.
The staff here is made up of me (Tom), my bud Bud (aka Sweet Wille, though he hates that) who is our teaching guru and studio manager, and our friend Mr. Silent Partner. Bud and I have been looking to open a studio for ages, we thought we found a spot here in Manchester but for various reasons we just could not get it off the ground. One day, Bud found this studio that was being built and it really seemed to fit our needs and wants to a tee. Garage door access, lots of room, great location, Bud was hooked. He finally convinced me to come down and see what was going on, and meet Mr. SP, and I was sold. I saw the vision. We decided that we could bring different things to the table to make this place a feast, and a deal was struck to make this idea happen.
I am the principle photographer for the vehicle photography, along with handling the marketing and all that fun stuff. I have been a photographer for a while, and I am also a rider. I have an '06 Softail Springer Classic, and my wife Kerri is also a photographer/ assistant/ model and rider, she just got her '07 Sporty and is learning how to ride now. I ride mostly with Fire and Iron, a fire department riding crew. I also ride with the Patriot Guard Riders when we have a mission to attend to. Bud is not a rider (YET!) but I hope maybe after inhaling some fumes and feeling the vibes of a nice loud exhaust maybe he will get hooked. He needs another hobby besides being a kick ass photographer and teacher. Mr. Slient Partner is also a Harley guy, and he will be around the studio quite a bit to assist with set designs and other stuff. He is pretty bad ass himself. We tell him what we need, and its usually done before we even realize it. All in all, I would say we are a great team and will hopefully be able to provide a great service to all our customers. Check back here often, we are going to try to throw stuff up here often so you can see what going on here, plus just some general riding stuff.
