Carlos Avelar
This is a shoot for a national motorcycle magazine. It took place somewhere in the San Bernardino National Forest.
Carlos Avelar, the creator of this masterpiece called Ancient Mysteries. Its all about the culture of the Maya Indians. He built this custom sport motorcycle in two months solid - day and night and then unveiled it at Yamaha Motor Marketplace at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, CA. for the 2009 Red Bull U.S.Grand Prix. “Moto Gp”.
The squares you see on the faring’ are all hand carved with Dremel tools, each carved section represents original art from the Mayan Glyph writing system..
I wanted the bike in a natural setting and nothing to amazing to take focus from the bike. I thought this background was beautiful but not more than the bike itself. I was using the very last bit of light of the day, so I could accent the bike with its LED's and create a very dramatic feel.
I am pretty close to finishing the image but I like to sleep on it and retouch fresh in the morning so keep posted on the final image. I was just to excited to wait till tomorrow to post to my blog!
