Focus On Two Wheels

As a portrait photographer, I’m always striving for a “human connection.”

It’s an intimate, vulnerable moment that transcends background, education, station, culture and religion.

This doesn’t always happen. But when it does, I know the person who views the image, wherever he or she may see it, will also feel some connection to the subject.

I have been riding motorcycles for about 10 years. During that time, I have seen some striking similarities between bikes and cameras. Both allow me to learn more about different people, cultures and communities.

With that in mind, I created “the motorcycle portraits” to document and highlight individuals whose lives are deeply connected to motorcycling.

I chose to highlight the location of the photo by incorporating GPS coordinates. I’ve also allowed the subjects to share what it is about motorcycling that has so profoundly affected them.

It is an honor when someone allows me to photograph them; I know how uncomfortable sitting for a portrait can be.

I hope to grow this series and feature more people who have managed to experience extraordinary things, thanks to motorcycles.
