French photographer Jan Morvan has been documenting the lives of bikers and gang members for 40 years. The result is a powerful collection of black and white images.

Photographer Jan Morvan often risked his life, getting into extreme situations and communicating with dangerous people. And all this for the sake of work. Well, he can’t choose “softer” topics for himself. He documented the life of bikers from the Hells Angels gang, created a project about skinheads, and even managed to photograph Guy Georges, a serial killer who eventually kidnapped him and tortured him for three weeks. Morvan's photographs capture tense, "raw" emotions that make you feel uncomfortable. It removes the power, anger and daily life of groups of people who are on the very edge of the law. Black leather jackets and stern faces are the norm, and local authorities constantly maintain an aura of brute force around them. No one works for the camera, no one smiles or poses. Morvan doesn't just arrive, take pictures and leave. Oh no, he's working on the same project week after week, month after month, and even year after year. Today we present to your attention a selection of his photographs that tell about the life of bikers.
