Quick Shots: Bike Culture
Europe loves the bicycle. And I love photographing Europeans on their bicycles, often at the risk of being run over. Amsterdam takes the bike culture to a whole new level; you are constantly dodging cars, mopeds, bikes, and pedestrians walking through the city, but if you manage to not be squished, then you are rewarded with a bounty of photographic opportunities.
It was important to me to capture the bike culture of Amsterdam in a way that was distinctly Amsterdam. So I shot a series of images to tell the story of Amsterdam's bike culture. Photographed with the Leica SL and Leica Q and converted to black and white in Nik Silver Efex.
