Danny Lyon (born March 16, 1942)[1] is a self-taught American photographer and filmmaker. He was born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York and went on to study history at the University of Chicago, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1963. Later, Lyon began creating his own books. His first, was a study of outlaw motorcyclists in the collection The Bikeriders (1967), where Lyon did more than just photograph motorcyclists in the American Midwest from 1963 to 1967. Additionally, he also became a member of the Chicago Outlaws motorcycle club and traveled with them, sharing their lifestyle. According to Lyon himself, the photographs were "an attempt to record and glorify the life of the American bikerider." The series was immensely popular and influential in the 1960s and 1970s. During the 1970s, he also contributed to the Environmental Protection Agency's DOCUMERICA project. Danny Lyon received the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship for photography in 1969, and in film making in 1979. He has had solo exhibits at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Menil Collection, the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco and the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona.
