London Racer

    Pauline Di Silvestro

After a rough 2020 shooting performers on their doorsteps, I got the opportunity to branch out and learn to shoot sports, cycling in particular. Far away from dark punk venues, into the daylight, learning to shoot bikes is an incredible challenge that tested my skills at every shoot and every race. Meet Andre, a proud rider with his brand new custom-made race bike by Cinelli. This was shot in the iconic Barbican for a touch of brutalism to show how tough London riders can be.

Pauline Di Silvestro planted her roots in North London in October 2017. With over 12 years of experience in live music and performance photography, her work captures the exhilarating moments of both intimate punk and burlesque shows and grand festivals, showcasing her versatility and eye for detail. Pauline has received numerous nominations, including the British Photography Awards in 2020 and 2023, the International Photography Awards in 2022 and 2023, and the London International Creative Competition in 2023.
