Shot at Barcelona’s outdoor velodrome, this project captures track cyclists during training and head-to-head competition. Working at high speed and under natural light, the photography mirrors the discipline itself—demanding precision, timing, and complete focus.
Track cycling is a raw and demanding sport: fixed-gear bikes, no brakes, and total control on steeply banked curves. The images reflect the intensity, confidence, and distinct character of these riders, portraying a discipline defined by commitment, risk, and absolute dedication.
