World Photography Day - Photo Pace

Words: Rj Agcamaran | Rj AgcamaranKyle ThornhillChristopher Stricklen

Photo Pace started literally from an Instagram DM among a group of eight friends, mostly as a joke about riding slow and shooting photos of each other – hence the name Photo Pace. Once we saw the amount of interest in our content, we were stoked on sharing what we loved doing with the rest of the cycling community, and so, Photo Pace was born.

 

 

Since then we’ve added two more really awesome photographers to the group. Our good friends Zach Piña, who is a macro watch-shooting extraordinaire, and Emily Cheng. We were really stoked to announce Emily as the first female member of Photo Pace because not only does she bring some female finesse to the group - something us boys are lacking - but mostly, we're hopeful she’s inspiring more female photographers and cyclists to get out and photo-pace too!

 

 

Tangibles in a Digital World

Over the last couple years, we’ve created and sold a couple small batches of water bottles, zines, t-shirts, and other merch items. I think, collectively, we enjoy creating tangible items for people in this largely digitally-consumed world that we live in. We want to give life to our brand so whenever we have the opportunity to produce products to share with people, we try to make it as fun and personable as possible.

 

                

 

We recently got together with a group of friends to shoot some photos for our latest logo release - it’s a really rewarding thing for us to include friends who support us in any of the projects we do.

 

     

 

Fortunately, social media really has allowed us to reach people from all over the world; people who are inspired by the same beliefs that we have about Photo Pace - that you don’t have to be racing bikes to enjoy bikes; that a camera on your back and the memories you capture with it is worth the extra wind drag.

In all honesty, we’re really humbled and surprised by the amount of positive feedback we’ve received from people over the years. What started as a joke quickly evolved into a small supportive community of friends and despite only virtually knowing and talking to people for the last year and a half through a phone screen, we’re hoping we can make some of those connections in real-life as well.

 

We don’t know what the future has in store for us, all we know is that we want to keep doing this because it’s fun for us. We genuinely love shooting photos. We genuinely love riding bikes. I’m not so sure there’s a better combination.
