Veteran music photographer Anthony Pidgeon has been creating iconic images for artists, promoters, publishers, and agencies for over three decades.

An intuitive collaborator, Anthony seeks out the creative spark within each individual and captures what is alive in the moment. His transcendent images speak to the essence of each artist through thoughtfulness, beauty, and a sense of playful exploration.

Working as a House Photographer for music industry legend Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco from the mid-90’s thru mid-2000’s, his inspired coverage of hundreds of live shows and backstage portrait sessions led to assignment work with numerous music publications, as well as editorial, travel, and commercial clients, and positions as a House Photographer with several music festivals, including his ongoing two-decade relationship with Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.

Currently based in Portland, Oregon, Anthony continues to travel worldwide, covering festivals, commercial assignments, and events for a variety of clients and agencies. He is simultaneously in the process of compiling images from his extensive archive for publication in an upcoming large-format retrospective book, Backstage / Onstage, featuring work from the entirety of his 30+ year career within the music industry, accompanied by artist commentary, anecdotes, essays, insights, and stories.

Additionally, he is at work on a new project pairing his portraits of artists with conversations exploring multidimensional facets of the creative journey over the course of a lifetime.
