Henrik U. Forss, a native of Sweden, has been a Californian since 2000. His life has been a testament to his passion for vintage cars, a journey that started in his homeland and blossomed in the sun-soaked streets of California. Since 1997, Henrik has carved a niche for himself as a freelance photographer, capturing the essence of vintage cars for several worldwide magazines.
"Hot Cars in Cool California" is Henrik's homage to the vibrant and evolving world of hot rods, customs, and racecars. This book delves into the rich automotive culture that flourished from the late 1940s to the late 1960s, a period that witnessed the meteoric rise of hot rodding, the birth of lowriding, and the wild popularity of drag racing.
The pages of this book are not just a collection of car photographs; they are a narrative of an era. Henrik's unique photographic style gives equal importance to the vehicles and their backgrounds, telling a story that is as much about the environment as it is about the cars. Henrik believes that an interesting background can be as crucial to a good article as the vehicle itself. This philosophy is evident in his work, where each image is a confluence of history, art, and automotive design. The book is a visual journey that captures the spirit of a bygone era through the lens of a modern-day observer.
"Hot Cars in Cool California" is more than a book; it's a cultural document that celebrates the timeless allure of vintage cars. It's a tribute to those who keep the spirit of these cars alive, refusing to conform to the modern world's norms. Whether you are a vintage car enthusiast, a history buff, or someone who appreciates the art of photography, this book has something for you. It's a journey through time, seen through the eyes of a man who is not just an observer but an active participant in the world of vintage cars.
