Celebrities and their Motorcycles
Let me introduce myself, my name is Harvey Edwards and I have been a photographer for over 40 years. I am best known for my ballet pieces especially an image entitled “Leg Warmers” which is known around the world. I have had two previous books published; “Fairfax” which was a photographic study of a community in Los Angeles, California and “The Art Of Dance” published by Little Brown and Company which told the photographic story of the hard work, pain and sacrifice that a dancer goes through for those few moments of glory on stage. Huffingtonpost.com ran a piece giving you a little insight to who I am. The pictures taken are of Lindsay Lohan and were the first images created with the book in mind Celebrities and their Motorcycles. She was truly wonderful to work with , a true professional and extremely talented artist. I am always looking for celebrities who would like to be in the book. When creating an image I can either pose them or if they have a vision of themselves with their mot!
orcycle I will respect that so it will be their choice. I hope to complete the book within a year. So if you are one of those celebrities who would like to be in the book please contact us at Harvey@HarveyEdwards.com.
Celebrities and their Motorcycles have had a long and enduring affair. Many celebrities love the experience of whipping winds and exhilarating speeds, and with pesky paparazzi always on their tails, the stars find motorcycles convenient for a swift getaway. Since before the iconic movie Easy Rider, celebrities, mostly men but now many women celebs as well, have taken to the open road. There are many prints of motorcycles in the marketplace but they are static — no life, just a flat picture of a bike, certainly not what I would call art. Taking that a step further, I will capture the celebrities and their motorcycles as an art form rather than the typical paparazzi picture of just a celebrity with their bike. On a typical Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles, a bystander might run into Jay Leno or Arnold Schwarzenegger hanging loose with other motorcyclists at one of the several popular motorcycle “hangouts.” Some other celebrities who enjoy riding their motorcycles are Lindsay Lohan, Peter Fonda, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Mathew McConaughey, Ewan McGregor and many more.
Riding a motorcycle, you are one with the road in a way you cannot be in a car, you are exposed to the weather, the air and the smell of the road. Why the link between the famous and the fast? Certainly wherever there is money there are many ways to spend it but could there be more to the lure of a beautiful motorcycle? I have an interesting theory. There are three basic types of celebrity motorcycle riders: The ones who are riding to look cool and may have many bikes but not so many miles on the bikes, the “real biker” celebs who were into biking before they became famous and now have the money and time to indulge their passion, and the ones who started off riding as a fashion statement but then found themselves getting really into motorcycles. Motorcycles also offer an escape from the world of celebrity, the chance to feel free and slip away from the world. It’s no surprise that many of the celebrity motorcycle riders are also pilots. Each offers both the exhilaration of p!
otential danger as well as the feeling of mastery, to be both in control and yet aware that you are not completely in control, that the environment you are in also controls you. I suspect that being famous can be similar in some ways, a odd juxtaposition of power and powerlessness.
I thought your readers would be interested in my story from Huffingtonpost. com.
