There’s nothing quite like the thrill of experiencing live events. Whether it’s a vast music festival, an iconic sports stadium or a cosy, intimate venue, there’s something new and exciting for everyone. The energy and enthusiasm of the passionate fans and talented performers all combine to create an unforgettable atmosphere that is both invigorating and inspiring.

For over a decade, James Bridle has been capturing breathtaking moments at music festivals and events, striving to encapsulate the true essence of the moment through his photography. With his remarkable talent and unwavering dedication, James has captured some of the most iconic musicians and entertainers in the world, including Elton John, The Who, Queen and Alicia Keys.

Being part of such unforgettable moments is a privilege for James, and he is grateful for the remarkable journey his work has taken him on. As an event and music photographer, James has travelled widely and when the opportunity to work with Cunard and Carnival came up, he didn’t think twice and jumped at the chance to circumnavigate the world twice. This opportunity allowed him to expand his portfolio by putting new techniques into practice and perfecting his skills.
