"Bosozoku: Japanese Biker Gangs" is a collection of works by Mexican-American photographer Estevan Oriol. Originally from Los Angeles, Oriol is known for his photographs documenting LA street culture, including lowriders, tattoos, and hip-hop. His photography career began after he toured the world as a tour manager with rap groups like Cypress Hill and House of Pain. Since then, he has captured the culture and people thriving in the backstreets of cities with powerful monochrome images. This book compiles his photographs of Japanese biker gangs taken during over 20 years of visits to Japan. It documents the heavily modified bikes, flamboyant decorations, and unique styles of young people in both color and black-and-white photographs. While resonating with American lowrider culture, this unique collection captures the world of Japanese biker gangs, embodying a distinct Japanese aesthetic, from the perspective of LA street photography.
