Shoot The Messenger, a project by photographer Anthony Hill, is a documentation of Stockholm’s cycle messengers, a sub-culture found within cities worldwide.
“The project began in winter 2018 and has continued throughout the following winters. The portraits have all been taken during a ten-minute break in the riders’ working day. It’s all about them and their bikes, which reflect both the subculture and harsh environment within which they work”
The subculture spreads far and wide. Messenger championships, races and ‘alley cats’ take place around the globe. In Stockholm, you’ll find Swedish, European, and World championship winners.
Ultimately, this project documents a select group of individuals with a chosen lifestyle in a specific place during a particular period of time.
It is also an homage to the bicycle.
