GHOST IN THE MACHINE
For the people of Amsterdam, a bike isn’t just a mode of transportation – it’s a part of their body. The whole city runs on bikes so if you want to impress here on two wheels you have to go the extra mile.

Mark Van Dooes and his crew are full of that Amsterdam city spirit. They ride as if the BMX is a part of their body, as if it has a life of its own. In this shoot, I wanted to capture the symbiosis between these men and their machines.
