"Los Angeles Car Club" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Taro Hirano. Born in Tokyo in 1973, his father, Koga Hirano, is a book designer who previously worked in the advertising department of Takashimaya Department Store. After working for a publishing company, he went freelance around 2000 and has since worked in a wide range of fields, from skateboarding culture to fashion and commercials, earning him high praise from collector brands. He has also released a trilogy of American-themed works: "Pool" (2005), "Los Angeles Car Club" (2016), and "The Kings" (2016). This book is one of those volumes, composed of illustrations taken on Los Angeles highways. Its portraits, featuring American and Japanese cars, tractors, campers, and customized colors and parts, seem to symbolize the individuality and diversity of America. At the same time, this diversity and sense of speed create a documentary surface that speaks to the freedom of the American nation. Limited to 1,200 copies.
