Sports Photography by James Bridle
I worked as the Southampton Football Club team photographer until 2019, documenting player features, match days, and kit launches. During that time, I photographed some of the world's top footballers in stadiums across the country, often in rain, ice, or snow, capturing the energy and precision of every moment.
Beyond my work with Southampton FC, I collaborated with major sports brands like Dunlop and Red Bull, producing portrait sessions and lifestyle imagery that highlighted athletes both on and off the field. I focused on telling the story behind the sport, whether on the pitch, court, or in the arena, not just the action itself.
I also developed a strong understanding of digital media and social platforms, working with brands and athletes to create visuals that enhance their online presence. Every image I delivered was designed to align with brand identity and engage audiences effectively.
