I asked Juliette Laurant, a student of mine, to take pictures of the CBX while it was still in mint Essen Motorshow-condition.
She's specialized in photographing horses, pets, portraits and marriages and had never shot a bike. But she didn't hesitate a second as I asked her to do so: it's more or less like picturing horses, only this time 115 of them in a stainless steel casing.

Take a look at her facebook page, and her website.

  
       
    Finding the right location is crucial; the CBX doesn't do well in a green environment but it does in an industrial one. I contacted Harold Verbruggen from Swanenberg IJzer Groep (Beuningen, NL). He granted me full entry to this perfect location at any time at any day.  
       
    Juliette came with her boyfriend Jeroen. He assisted with reflection screens, and so did I once a while.  
       
   

Together we discussed bike positions and lighting, and she took on any awkward position to get the right view on the bike.

  
       
 
 

Even crouching in a puddle of water: in Holland we say 'alles voor de Kunsten' ('all for the Arts').

Aim at the picture to distract Juliette for a moment from her mission.

  
       
   

Below are some of the results.

The theme was: 'post apocalypse'. I think we succeeded.
