Hell’s Angels, Group, California
A raw and visceral glimpse into the outlaw motorcycle culture of 1960s California, this chromogenic print captures the brotherhood and defiance that defined the Hell's Angels. Thompson, who embedded himself within the gang while researching his landmark book, brings an insider's unflinching eye to this group portrait, conveying both the menace and camaraderie that fascinated and terrified mainstream America. Printed in 2006, the image gains a nostalgic weight, cementing these figures as mythic anti-heroes of the American counterculture.
