Fantastic photographs worthy of any of the magazines seen in hairdresser or dentists waiting areas... Mine (yes I still have hair) supplies the BMW Owners in-house magazine and Golf World, to reflect his prices of course.. I digress. Anyway. I have to say, the one let down in the portraits are those very functional but very ugly bike stands that kind of detract from the beautiful machinery they're holding up. Has anyone any better, less visible (preferably invisible) suggestions ?

Perhaps Ken could give us all (especially me)! some tips as to how he lights those shot's ?. Being marginally camera inept, I never seem to be able to produce a similar view shadow-less !
