With their matching outfits, sky-high stilettos, and dazzling motorbikes that emit puffs of pink smoke, Caramel Curves is a photographer's dream.
Founded in 2005, the all-female motorcycle club meets every Sunday to cruise through the streets of New Orleans and share in the sisterhood of partaking in what is often a male-dominated arena.
Photographer Akasha Rabut spent three years riding with them and documenting these divas in action.
Photographer Akasha Rabut was out and about on Super Sunday in New Orleans when she came across two women sitting on motorcycles.
"They mentioned that they were in an all-female motorcycle club called 'Caramel Curves,' and my interest was totally piqued," she said.
They invited her to their meeting at a nail salon owned by one of the members, where she decided to document the group through a photo series.
