#CXisAlwaysHere: American Cyclocross

#CXisAlwaysHere: American Cyclocross

Hi, I’m Daghan, (Pronounced “Da-hon”. Yeah, like the folding bike). I’m a creative director and a photographer living in New York City, by way of Istanbul. I have been an avid racer the last nine seasons and started shooting cyclocross a couple of years ago at my local races. It quickly became a passion of mine and last year I finally created my first photography book, which focused on the East coast cyclocross culture.

This year I expanded my coverage to include races in the Midwest and the West Coast, so that I could portray a better sense of the cyclocross racing scene around the country.

The races I covered this year are

• 2017 Cyclocross National Championships
• Nittany Lion Cross
• Trek CX Cup
• KMC Crossfest
• Charm City Cross
• Grand Prix of Gloucester
• HPCX
• The Derby City Cup and Pan Am Championships
• Northampton International Cyclocross
• Supercross Cup
• NBX Grand Prix of Cyclocross
• Rainey Park Cross
