Bryan Adams: #Shotbyadams (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783969994443)

Almost 200 new celebrity portraits by Bryan Adams in his decisive, direct and vital style, with famous sitters running the gamut from Rod Stewart to the Dalai Lama

Award-winning British Canadian musician Bryan Adams (born 1959) has made an equally prolific name for himself in photography since the start of the new millennium. From his official portrait of Queen Elizabeth during her Golden Jubilee to his candid snap of Amy Winehouse later used for her posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures, Adams' images of models, musicians, actors, politicians and even royalty reveal a sense of their true selves beyond their public personas. Following the release of Exposed, published by Steidl in 2012, #shotbyadams collects nearly 200 new portraits from the past decade, featuring instantly recognizable figures such as Joni Mitchell, Rod Stewart, Naomi Campbell, Pamela Anderson and more. Forewords by Giorgio Armani and Boy George offer us insight into Adams' photographic approach and of the experience it is to be "shot by Adams."
