This is my contribution to the history of motorcycle glam fashion! Taken in 1981 for Kett Leathers the lighting was a compromise between that required for the model and that needed to make the leather look expensive! Kett used four shots from this session as life-size blow-ups for its stand at the Motorcycle Show.

Yes Mike, they did feature on the Kett stand at the NEC.
And no David I didn't shoot the Life helmets models, which included a sidecar shot if I remember. The lids were imported by Mike Kimber and I THINK Jerry Mason shot them. They were great shots and the body painting was brilliant -- definitely, one of the industry's most memorable ad campaigns. At the time, I was shooting the Harley, Ducati and Guzzi studio glam/fashion adverts for Coburn and Hughes (the importers). It was a memorable period and maybe triggered or had something to do with the backlash against sexism in motorcycling. There was a period of about four years where models were dropped like hot potatoes. I was lucky, I guess...
