ORANGE LOADER

Clad in black leather, a rider crouches low over a bare metal aluminium streamliner motorcycle numbered 1141 as it races across the vast white expanse of the bonneville salt flats The rider and machine are small but in striking form against the pale horizon and soft blue sky above. The hand beaten metal bike and minimal silhouette give the scene a timeless, sculptural quality as it pushes across the featureless white surface. Fine art colour photographic print by Simon Davidson.

STREAMLINER BIKE

A matte black first generation 1970 Dodge Challenger performs a hard 180 on a dirt desert floor, throwing a large plume of dust and sand from the rear wheels. Joshua trees and purple hued mountains stretch across the background under a pale overcast sky. Fine art colour photographic print by Simon Davidson.

TRADITIONAL GRIT

BLUE LOADER

A land speed motorcycle racer wearing a blue and yellow race suit numbered 82 sits astride a white streamlined motorcycle numbered 8282 on the Bonneville Salt Flats, facing away from the camera toward the long straight track that stretches to the distant mountains and pale horizon. Tyre tracks score the white salt surface at the start line as a soft blue sky with scattered clouds completes the vast open scene. Fine art colour photographic print by Simon Davidson.

Racer 8282

We see the rear of a black Holden GTS sedan is almost entirely swallowed by a towering cloud of white tyre smoke during a burnout, with only the red tail light and rear chrome bumper visible through the billowing haze. The smoke builds into a massive marshmallow like formation that fills the frame from the black bitumen covered in burnout detritus to the pale sky above, dwarfing the car beneath it.

Captured in a portrait orientation. The rear of metallic green Valiant Regal is almost completely consumed by a vast billowing cloud of vivid teal tyre smoke during a burnout. The electric contrast of the bright green body against the churning aqua smoke creates a striking abstract quality, the car appearing to float above the scorched black bitumen below. Fine art colour photographic print by Simon Davidson.

Burnouts

In the moment a burnout is an overwhelming bombardment of the senses. Utter chaos but fun. Photography has the power to reveal invisible beauty. Beauty expressed in a car spinning its rear wheels with the single purpose of destruction.

In a portrait orientation. A matte black first generation Dodge Challenger powers through a desert dirt surface, kicking up a low trail of dust from the rear wheels. Joshua trees and purple hue mountain ranges stretch across the horizon under a pale white sky, with the car's polished five spoke wheels and fastback roofline sharp against the hazy desert landscape. Fine art colour photographic print by Simon Davidson.

Desert Series

This series explores the stark beauty of isolation, where the vastness of the American desert blurs the line between past and present. Endless roads and shifting light create a landscape both haunting and mesmerising. This collection captures the hypnotic solitude.
