In a nondescript London garage, a tableau unfolds, capturing a scene that echoes with the weight of history and the relentless march of time. This is the domain of Max, a mechanic whose 40 years of experience are etched in every crease of his weathered hands and every meticulous movement he makes. The garage is a sanctuary for old and vintage motorcycles, each one a relic of a bygone era, painstakingly brought back to life.

The space is a living diorama, filled with an assortment of tools that speak of countless hours of labor and love. Every corner of the workshop tells a story—of machines that once roared down open roads, now patiently waiting for their second lease on life. Max, with his quiet intensity and unwavering focus, becomes the central figure in this narrative, embodying a tradition that teeters on the edge of extinction. Through a series of staged yet profoundly realistic photographs, this project captures not just the physical act of restoration, but the soul of a craft that refuses to fade quietly into the past.
