Shanghai’s Sidecar Riders – Feature Shoot

Among the 24 million residents of Shanghai, there are only 250 registered sidecar riders. Drawn to the story behind the iconic sidecars, many of which are re-customed wartime motorbikes, photographer Aurelien Chauvaud set out to capture as many riders as she could find. The series is simply titled Shanghai Sidecar Riders. The resulting portraits, set on a backdrop of the city’s stunning landscapes, are as individual as the riders themselves.
