In the late nineties Bryan Adams became curious about making photographic self-portraits for his album covers, and
so chose to pick up the camera himself. That serendipitous decision was the beginning of a successful photographic
career, parallel to Adams’ impressive achievements as a singer, songwriter and producer. Exposed is a retrospective
of Adams’ photography and features portraits of friends and colleagues in the entertainment, fashion and art industries,
including Morrissey, Ben Kingsley, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Louise Bourgeois, Lindsay Lohan and Judi Dench.
This book, Adams’ first comprehensive monograph, “exposes” not only unknown facets of his subjects but also the
depth of Adams’ photographic faculty.
Bryan Adams, born in 1959 in Ontario, divides his time between music and photography. Adams has photographed for
magazines including Interview, i-D, Harper’s Bazaar, and British and German Vogue. In 2003 he founded Zoo Magazine
for which he has received a Goldene Feder Award. In 2006 Adams was honoured with a German Lead Award for his
series of photographs of Mickey Rourke. Adams’ photographic exhibitions include those held at the Saatchi Gallery
and the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Haus der Kunst in Munich.
