Photography by Richard Chenet, 1977

Richard Chenet is a renowned automotive photographer who has been shooting professionally longer than most our readers have been alive. In the early days, he dabbled in the world of two wheels. His creative eye captured this set of experimental photographs which lived on slides, tucked away in a box for over four decades. Little did he know we would take such an interest in these images all these years later. Fragments in time preserved in an emulsion and finally brought to life to celebrate a time and place that would otherwise be lost and insignificant. There’s something beautiful about that.
