BEFORE BIKES
Before I started shooting bikes, I used to create looping images – in the form of .gif files – from videos I had filmed myself.
It was literally a combination of a photo and a video, merged into a single image.
Some of them became quite popular online, and a few brands asked me if I could create some for their products. So that’s what I did for the next few years to earn a living.
At first, I didn’t know much about cameras, video or photography in general.
That’s why I started taking photos of my friends and their bikes. That's how “CYYYCLES” was born.
By the way, it’s spelled with three “Y” because I wanted this name to refer to those loops.
I worked as a freelance photographer/content creator for a few years, but it involved too much paperwork,
which I'm really terrible at. I expected to be behind a camera, not sitting at a desk filling out confusing forms.
I'm now a bike mechanic.
I stopped making loops, but I kept shooting bikes.
Check out a few of those loops ︎:
