Coldplay One Lens: 25 Years of Photographs by Victoria Smith

For 25 years, Victoria Smith has photographed Coldplay not as an outsider looking in, but as a trusted witness to their journey. From intimate club shows and backstage moments to stadium performances on the record-breaking Music of the Spheres World Tour, One Lens traces the band's evolution through the eyes of a photographer who was there from the beginning.

Featuring hundreds of photographs, many published for the first time, this beautifully curated collection captures not only the energy of live performance, but also the quiet moments between them—revealing the humanity, friendship, and passage of time behind one of the world's most beloved bands, and a rare document of the final pre-social-media era of rock culture.

By purchasing through the link below, you’ll support the iconic City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, and the artist. Order your copy below.

If I was Coldplay, I would be very happy to have Victoria Smith and her camera hanging out in MY dressing room making me smile.
