Late last century I was working on a dirtbike magazine and was asked to pull on a safety jack-et and stand in a scene for an advertising shoot.
It was interesting, because at that time Photoshop was in its infancy, and the only way get these things done was to build a set and use a truly pro photographer. I took my place in a studio set up with a forest floor, trees and a couple of carefully placed smoke machines, then waited patiently while the lighting was organised and the pics done.
After the shoot the importer said, “Keep the jacket. Let us know if you like it.”
The jacket was from Dainese, and it was a mesh garment with armour attached to the elbows, shoulders, chest and back, and although it was a tad hot to wear, the protection it offered was exceptional.
