are where we are I know that one you know that one you know who you are well you're halfway to recovery um yeah so who you are where we are tell me a little bit about yourself you know my name like for who's me I'm David Coleman I'm a documentary portrait photographer we're here in Bayport Nova Scotia I've been a photographer for so and so and blah blah blah but for you your name where you are where you're from if you want to say how old you are you may we are about to start our interview okay mate good morning good morning are you ready for my little interview I think so because we didn't have the time to do it on the road David thank you so much for having me uh in your beautiful house thank you for having me Nova Scotia and you know giving me the introduction to this beautiful Province uh so David I would like to ask you a few questions please um could you please tell me what have you been up to in your life just like you know I know you've done a lot but yes just the short answer yeah what you've been up to for all these years and why are you here now I'll try to make this short yes uh so I'm a documentary importer photographer I used to shoot music and album packaging I'm from Toronto originally I've lived in New York and La for 25 26 years and now I'm in Nova Scotia um yeah so I used to do music and like that and I shot a pretty famous Blink 182 album cover that a lot of people know like the enema to stay with the girl uh then I sort of transitioned more into documentary work and I moved to New York and I started doing work for U.N women and different ngos and I worked in India and Cambodia and Bangladesh um and then and then after living in all these big cities Toronto and New York and L.A I started was craving more quiet and so this past year I moved to Nova Scotia where it's super quiet and super chill and there is no traffic yes definitely now you're here so what is your project and that I am proudly now to be part of I will be soon yeah so I'm super grateful that you're here you're actually the first person to come to me which is crazy because you're you've been like a Target that I've been somebody somebody that I've wanted to photograph so it's crazy that you actually think yeah um so the the series is called the motorcycle portraits and I know that's a very clever name and basically it started on my travels in India I had recognized how how motorcycles in developing countries were used as utilitarian tool versus in the west it's a luxury item and I just thought there are all these incredible Builders and Riders so I wanted to I wanted to feature them and I wanted to use different technologies that I had used in my documentary work like using GPS and audio and virtual reality and these different elements so I started doing these portraits and I basically would photograph an individual but I describe it as people whose lives are deeply connected to motorcycles so Racers Builders collectors and World Travelers and then perhaps if somebody I meet on the street yes yes yeah that's like the right Enthusiast but not just like oh your cousin Joe who has a motorcycle sure you select a very yes very select few um so yeah so I would do a portrait I would do an audio interview ask them some questions and I would use GPS to geotag the location and and that was it and it started kind of small and the idea was that I wanted to use my motorcycle as a mobile photo studio and in the last few years I've traveled 33 000 miles across the U.S and Canada and are shot a little bit in India when I was over there and I have close to 100 subjects right now and the goal is to do a book and and to perhaps do a show and that's it and it's it's self-funded for the most part I mean I've had some support from sponsors but for the most part it's self-funded and it's self-directed so nobody's breathing down my neck telling me what to do or who to shoot or anything like that and I like these sorry I like the autonomy of that so could you show me now an example I can so there's a dedicated website called the motorcycleportraits.com and here's an example of I love that picture this is Vijay Singh yes in in India in Rajasthan his company is called rajputana Custom Cycles he's an incredible Builder um so basically you would go to your website and then you see his name and then you see where you met him location and then you can play on audio while you're looking at the picture I think that's so clever yeah in the bottom corner there's a little a blue microphone you click on it and you hear the audio interview can you subject sure my name is Vijay Singh I have done a small custom motorcycle Workshop out of Jaipur Rajasthan and it's called rajputana Customs we've been building bikes for the last 10
