Editorial Photography: The Wow Factor of Bicycles

http://miguelperezphoto.com/children.html
Colors on unexpected object always carry the wow factor within. Say a red tuxedo an freckled airliner or a baby blue road bike. See exhibit A.


A simple shot like this one is a great example of what color power is. Great vibrancy out of the blaze orange and perfect unison with the classic baby blue also called Martini blue.

From the photographic point of view, the grey background is an excellent ally for any color as it brings solid contrast and enhances the force of the visuals. The angle is great also since its taken from the back in an approaching mode, like trying to sneak in an probably take the bike and run. Good distance from the subject too.


Here on exhibit B we have a bit more of a technical support from Photoshop using a motion blur effect, suggesting a wild urban ride on your way to work.  Excellent contrast with the non Eco-friendly bus ahead while providing perfect composition. I love it.


Finally more of a Photoshop work, suggesting the trendy and escalating power of the bicycles worldwide. Today, people understand how important is to be fit and to reduce the carbon foot-print during our lifetime. Probably not my favorite picture but one of high impact upon the viewers, it really says this is a global movement we all like.

If you ask yourself how many more photo ops can we get from a bicycle? the answer is unlimited. Bikes rock!
