The American Rider Portrait Series

THE AMERICAN RIDER portrait series
Faces of the motorcycle enthusiast and proud to be living in the USA. 

I had a booth display at the EasyRider Bike Show Tour in Columbus displaying my motorcycle photography. I thought it would be sweet to capture portraits of bikers at the show. Bikers always have a bit of character and a interesting look compared to the every day Joe. From the leather cuts with patches displaying who they are all about, to big beards, sometimes big bellies, tattoos, HD apparel, it’s always a uninformed look. You can be a solo rider to being in a club, to a business man who rides on weekends or you could be a Military Veteran riding for a motorcycle group like the CVMA, a bike builder, and so on…
I was able to capture the wide range of people and tie them to my work. I took the person from quietly looking at my work, to feeling that they knew me and we’re apart of something by the time they left by booth. It was a great way to get interaction between me and the riders.
The great thing is with this series, is that you would have never known I photographed it at a convention show!
I’m a motorcycle rider myself, proud to be living in the USA and support our men and women that have or are serving for our country.
