Sneak peek of the interview – Thanks AtEdge for sharing!
“The Messenger project is a personal project, but the desire to shoot this group of people was born from an editorial piece I shot for Red Bull the summer before. I had been assigned to follow Nico Deportago-Cabrera, a bike messenger hailing from Chicago as he took part in the annual NACCC (North American Cycle Courier Championships). While photographing this event, I was really drawn in by the sense of family & comradery from the group of a 100 or so messengers, and their tattoos were just incredible. So from there I knew I wanted to photograph more of these impressive alternative athletes.”
