A striking photographic study of Los Angeles car culture. Andrew Bush mounted a camera to the passenger-side window of his own car and photographed drivers as he cruised alongside them — often at 60 mph. The resulting images, which he titled Vector Portraits, capture people in their vehicles as both private and public selves: personal, expressive environments moving through the wider world.
Published here for the first time as a collected portfolio, the photographs are accompanied by an essay from Patt Morrison and a conversation with Jeff L. Rosenheim that places the project within Bush’s broader work.
A unique and revealing look at identity, mobility, and the everyday theatre of the American road.
