Whitney Houston (Bike), Brooklyn, NY, 1990

The dramatic lighting in this black-and-white shot makes her expression the whole focus, not the bike. Hung it in my hallway and it honestly stops people mid-step.

The candid feel of her on that motorcycle in Brooklyn is what sold me — it doesn't look posed at all. Printed in black and white, the contrast is sharp enough that the bike's details still read clearly from across the room.

The dramatic lighting really makes the black-and-white shot pop, and you can feel her charisma even in a candid moment on that classic motorcycle. I’ve stared at the details in her expression and the bike’s frame more times than I’d admit. It’s a striking piece that brings 1990 Brooklyn to life.
