From the moment I saw Cindy DuLong AKA Fashion Serial Killer in that rad burnout shot below by Lanakila MacNaughton I was hooked on her work. Lana was kind enough to share some of her favorite photos, along with a little personal commentary. The name ‘Lanakila’ was new to me, but I took a stab and guessed that it was Hawaiian…and was right! It means ‘Goddess of Victory’ and her grandfather who is half Hawaiian bestowed the righteous namesake upon her. Clearly he knew she was bound for greatness right from the get-go.
“Cindy DuLong (AKA Fashion Serial Killer) is a complete badass. She showed up to the shoot in a fur-collared leather jacket that she stitched herself. She brought her man on the shoot and he taught her how to do a burnout that night.” — photograph © by Lanakila MacNaughton
“I am a 24 year old motorcyclist and photographer from Portland, Oregon. I was inspired to create the Women’s Motorcycle Exhibition (a traveling photography show) by the real women that ride, not models but genuine riders. I want to reveal the brave, courageous and beautiful women that live to ride. I’ve been shooting women along the west coast and hope to travel all over the country to document women in different cities.” –Lanakila MacNaughton
“This photo is of @chevvvy. We shot out in the desert an hour outside of LA. Chevvvy is a 5′ 3″ bombshell who is a total sweetheart. Chevvvy was one of my favorite women to shoot thus far, she works the camera and is confident on and off the bike.” — photograph © by Lanakila MacNaughton

“The shot above is Stormie, @stormusbootimusmaximus. She is from Washington and rides with a lot of the chicks from Portland. She is a firebomb redhead and is the most well rounded rider I have encountered shooting. She is extremely confident on the bike, has complete control to surf the bike, stand on the saddle sit side saddle, I always get amazing material shooting her. Stormie is one of the nicest, most generous women I know and one of the few women I know that can wrench on her bike. She is the life of the party and will give you the shirt off her back. Amazing woman.” — photograph © by Lanakila MacNaughton

Excellent work; interesting angles and close ups. Really shows the bikes, the women, and the action. Well done!
The color work .. is pretty good . The B&W stuff … top notch ! I love the spirit as well as the attitude she captures in both her subject and the setting with her B&W photos . B&W is most definitely the medium she excels at . More of that sometime if you please good sir !
The one of the girl with the flag cape, what could possibly go wrong there!
Nice safe boots and hat though.
Photos of motorbikes, big sky, the open road. It looks like total freedom.
Awesome. Love this!
More stuff on women riders or those who are passionate about bikes, rather than some chick a photographer has put on a bike just because she looks good…
