As an avid cyclist and motorcyclist, shooting cycling and other events from a motorcycle has been a natural extension of Joe’s shooting skill set. I’ve worked on most of the biggest events in the country including:

Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, Herald Sun Tour, Sydney City to Surf, Red Bull Wings for Life, Gold Coast Marathon. Santos Women’s Tour Down Under, Subaru National Road Series

Joe also has a motorcycle modified for production shooting, with footplates, microwave link transmitter pole and Autocom comms system. Can provide an experienced moto pilot, as well as two more motos similarly equipped/crewed. While shooting handheld on the moto produces great coverage, we can also use a mounted Ronin gimbal with the Sony F5 for truly spectacular results!
