Hey there, motorhead and art enthusiasts! I’m Gil Stunner, the man behind the lens capturing the raw beauty and intricate details of people, cars, motorcycles, and abstracts. Born in the picturesque landscapes of Lebanon, I now call the bustling New York area home.
🔧 From Wrenches & Trenches to Lenses 🔧
I photograph things that move fast and people who move slow. Sometimes both at once. Started wrenching as a mechanic, then lenses and cameras got involved, and suddenly I’m waking up at 4am to shoot vintage racers tearing across New Jersey beaches, or wandering West African streets with Doctors here, everyone has better stories than mine.
My work’s basically street photography that smells like gasoline, documentary style with a cinematic hangover. Raw, honest, and probably needs a shower.
Featured in Auto Heroes Magazine, made Photographize’s Best 100 list, curated by SAATCHI ART & 1X, and somehow convinced galleries from New York to Paris that this counts as art. Collector clients include people with way better taste than me. Born in Lebanon. Based in New York. Fluent in machines, motion, and making excuses for why I missed breakfast to catch the light.
My love affair with bikes and cars is a lifelong passion. I’ve spent years under hoods and over handlebars, tuning engines, and polishing chrome. It wasn’t long before I traded my wrench for a camera to capture the mechanical art that has always fascinated me. The same enthusiasm I put into building and understanding these metal beasts translates directly into my photography.
What sets my work apart?
Somewhere between a film frame and a fever dream, each photograph is a poetic visual story with a blend of Gritty Realism. A soulful interpretations to the scene, the expression, the curve of a motorcycle fender, the glint of sunlight on a car hood, and the textures and shades you’ve never noticed.
My unique blend of technical mastery and creative intuition lets me showcase my lifestyle in creative ways you’ve never imagined.
From wrenches to lenses, Best bad decision I ever made.
