VENEER

This issue of VENEER represents the diversity of bikers through the people who keep the spirit and legacy of the community alive. The style is unrelenting black and white images that reveal texture and detail beyond the casual glance.

Meeting Rally Bikers as we pass on the street, in a parking lot or at a car wash, I photograph riders in a portable studio to capture that moment just after we meet, that point of simple truth while the shared humanity is still in our eyes. The studio serves to remove visual distractions and allows pause for a more intimate portrait, a brief moment to reveal the truth and the veneer of identity.
