Description

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, Sir Ben Kingsley, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Louise Bourgeois, Lindsay Lohan and Dame Judi Dench. This book, Adams' first comprehensive monograph, "exposes" not only unknown facets of his subjects but also the depth of Adams' photographic faculty.
