I first met photographer Camille McMillan at Eroica Britannia last year, where he cut a dashing figure swaggering around in a silk scarf shooting images and taking rides on a motorbike under the Brooks England banner. I was immediately curious about him; he appeared to play by his own set of rules with no pussy-footing about. Certainly as a man, he’s intriguing and enigmatic but believe it or not, I was unaware of his serious pedigree as a photographer and cyclist.
Next month’s Bespoked Handmade Bike Show in Bristol, where I will be a judge, will feature an exhibition of Camille’s work, accompanied by the unveiling of his new custom-built ‘demi-porkeur’ hand-crafted by Hartley Cycles.
Head over to the Brooks blog where I find exactly what a ‘demi-porkeur’ is, and find out more about the project.
