An Army officer, an Motorcycle artist of "Wall-of-Death", a lawyer, and a piercing designer. People coming together with the same affinity,
the 50s.
Daniel Sahlberg started this project when he still was assisting other photographers in mid 2000s. From the beginning fascinated by 50s design, such as clothes, furniture, and cars, the project evolved into showing the Rockabilly culture of today.
He's been joining events in
Scandinavia and England, everything from small country-side get togethers, to big international festivals. Thus Daniel Sahlberg is mainly portraying the strict orthodox in this subculture, his images also
shows people of a strong community, where Daniel Sahlberg says he was always on a "Turist Visa".
Rockabilly's, Hot Rodder's, or Greaser's - things that stood for something back then has evolved into something else today, something new, often
regardless of boundaries or prejudices. Today, the scene is big and alive. People gather from all over the world, all with different backgrounds but with one thing in common, they love the 50s.
This exhibition was published in a number of renowned magazines in Scandinavia including
Bon Magazine.
