BIKE WEEK

A large black and white photograph of a man and woman holding stuffed animal toys, hanging on a concrete wall in a modern restaurant or cafe interior with empty tables and chairs.

Portraits built on instinct

One of MISTER LYNCH’s earliest works, Bike Week launched his now-signature Street Studios series—portraits made with a simple backdrop in active public spaces. Shot with a Twin Lens camera, a bedsheet, and duct tape, the setup stripped away distraction to capture raw, human presence in just minutes.

Critics have likened the series to Avedon’s American West for its stark intimacy and emotional clarity—laying the foundation for Lynch’s enduring approach to portraiture.
