Coldplay One Lens: 25 Years of Photographs by Victoria Smith

For twenty-five 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 the largest stadium performances on Earth, 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.
