Bryan Adams Unveils 'Star Portraits' Series, Includes Intimate Photos of Himself in Pink Attire - Strips down, revealing herself solely for him.
Bryan Adams, the renowned Canadian musician known for his chart-topping hits and over 100 million records sold, is now making waves in the world of photography. His latest exhibition, "'ShotbyAdams" at the ACC, features 80 of his works that span a wide range of subjects, from celebrities to social themes.
The exhibition showcases portraits of some of the biggest names in entertainment, fashion, and art. Among them are Robbie Williams, Naomi Campbell, Queen Elizabeth II, Iggy Pop, and Kate Moss. Pink is another celebrity whose portrait is on display.
Adams' photography career took off in the 1990s, but it wasn't until recently that he gained widespread recognition as a respected photographer. His work has been awarded multiple times, and he has captured the attention of the world with his unique style and approach.
One of Adams' most notable works is his series "Wounded: The Legacy of War" (2013), which features photographs of British soldiers wounded in Iraq. This series showcases Adams' commitment to social themes and his ability to capture the raw emotion and reality of the subjects he photographs.
In 2022, Adams made history as the first Canadian photographer to shoot the prestigious Pirelli Calendar. The 2022 edition, titled On The Road, featured portraits of musicians and showcased their touring lives through his lens. This edition was notable as the calendar returned after being cancelled in 2021 due to the pandemic and marked a thematic shift focusing on music and movement rather than traditional glamour photography.
The 2022 Pirelli Calendar photos by Adams included previously unseen images of various musicians, emphasizing candid and intimate portraits rather than typical fashion or glamour shots. His work was officially launched at London's Natural History Museum in 2022, as part of the calendar's 51st edition.
Regarding other celebrities, Adams’ photographic involvement with the Pirelli Calendar is mainly associated with this 2022 edition. While the calendar traditionally includes high-profile models and celebrities, the focus in his year was clearly on musicians rather than supermodels or actors. However, the Pirelli Calendar historically has featured many major celebrities and iconic models over the years.
Adams' work in the exhibition and the Pirelli Calendar demonstrates his ability to capture the essence of his subjects and present them in a way that is both candid and intimate. His photography is a testament to his talent and his commitment to using his art to shed light on important social issues.
