Selim Korycki

Selim’s first job was a runner for a photographic agency, which naturally morphed into becoming a bike courier and a documenter of the cycle courier scene. Both cycling and photography have developed as parallel passions for him, and he has spent the last 9 years working as a courier and a photographer in London and Warsaw. Selim’s photographs capture both the everyday hardships and humour of the job and the excitement of local courier races and large events like the World Cycle Messenger Championships. The past few years have brought Selim the opportunity to shoot new types of cycling events including track racing, bike polo and BMX events.  Here’s what selim is saying about bicycles and photography, and here are his awesome photographs on bicycleimages.com.

Matt Shaw

Matt has been riding bikes in London for half a decade, most of it on a Brompton folding bike and some of it on various road bikes.  Since then, bikes have got under his skin, and he’s become engrossed by documenting all aspects of London cycling, from roadies in Richmond Park to the fixed-gear scene, trying to capture the buzz of a group ride, the passion of activists, and the pain of a criterium sprint.  His photographic work has been showcased in Time Out and has been published in the Guardian and the Washington Post, as well as illustrating several blogs and magazines.  Living in Camden Town, he can’t help photographing street and architecture, and enjoys working with clients on getting the perfect portrait shot for book jackets and websites.   The rest of his time is spent looking after old books and putting on exhibitions in a large library next to St Pancras station.  Now and then, he also gets away to inch his way up as many French or Italian cols as he can. Matt’s photos can be found on Bicycle Images here.

Elisabeth Blanchet

I have always loved taking pictures of people, places, recording and imortalising scenes. So, documenting other people’s lives became my job. Based in London, I have been a freelance photographer for the last 8 years. I regularly work with Time Out London and other UK papers and magazines. I also contribute to the continental press (Le Figaro, Le Soir, l’Agefi, Côté Ouest, Marie-Claire…). I either get commissioned or pitch stories and ideas.
I also have always loved riding bicycles. So taking pictures of people who love cycling became a big part of my photographic work. I did my first London bicycle pics in 2004 when I got interested in the couriers’ community. I was writing an article for the French woman magazine Biba on couriers girls. That’s how I met Papillon and many other messengers who are still my close friends. I took pictures of alleycats, rollapaluzas, races, bike polo. I had publications in Time Out, cycling magazines and different European magazines… I also remember unforgettable Friday nights at the Duke and more recently at the Foundry. I recently got interested in guys doing amazing tricks with their fixies and bmx and will probably go further in that direction.
