About me: Hello, I’m Pauline. I’m photographer, content creator, tour manager and event all-rounder based in London, with a Belgian passport and driving licence so I can tour freely across the UK and EU.
I started out in 2009 booking and tour managing UK rock’n’roll bands around Europe, mostly The Zipheads, Graveyard Johnnys, Knocksville and many more.. Almost a decade of logistics, looking after artists, and making sure the shows went smoothly. I picked up a camera in 2011 to document it all, and have received several nominations for my music photography. As an event manager, I love being close enough to the chaos to solve it, but also close enough to capture it.
These days I work across event production, artist liaison, merchandise and live photography, and I still get a genuine kick out of being backstage, on the road, or in the pit. I love the energy of live music and the people who make it happen. I speak English, French and Dutch fluently, and can get by in German, Italian and Spanish.
What I love most is subculture, and the people who keep it alive… The crews, the bands, the venues, the whole ecosystem that makes a gig actually work.
I have a very eclectic taste in music. I love punk, post-punk, garage, psych & fuzz, heavy metal but also jazz, afrobeat and funk. I love discovering and supporting new bands through my work
Warmly,
Pauline Di Silvestro
