![]() When a lowrider prepares their car to go to a cruise night or a car show they have spent months, maybe years, getting it ready to be seen. Is this just a part of being shot in LA or this happen in post-production, or both? So many of the images are extremely ‘clean’ looking. You will see a lot of photographs in Cruise Night lit by the cars themselves. I also learned that headlights and interior car lights would be of assistance. I learned which corners on the popular boulevards had the brightest streetlights and I would use them to light the cars as they went by. Since I don’t ever introduce my own lighting source, I found how to best illuminate the cars with what the landscape provided.

I found that closeness to the movement, both material and relational, is where I found my voice. There are very few photographs featuring an entire car or a crowd of people. This disposition is reflected in the intimate photos of both the details of car customization and of the lowrider community. How do you approach photographing what is essentially two different genres of photograph in one go – people and automobiles?Ĭruise Night is deeply personal and reflects my practice of making images filled with quietude and stillness.
