Exposed

Adams' images play with clichés of the representation of celebrities in public - some show the stars in ironic funny situations, others in intimate moments. However, the photographs of Adams always reflect a deep interest in people. He has mastered both the craft of classic studio photography, as well as the snapshot aesthetic.

Amy Winehouse, Mick Jagger, Louise Bourgeois, Ben Kingsley, Pink and Mickey Rourke  - these are only a few of the illustrious names that have posed for Bryan Adams.

Many of Adams' portraits and fashion photographs were taken for Zoo Magazine, which he founded in Berlin in 2004. They show Mickey Rourke in the bathtub, Dustin Hoffman wearing a suit and fishing in the sea surf, or Michael J. Fox laughing in the face of Parkinson's disease. In 2002, on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth II's golden Jubilee, he was selected to make a portrait of the queen.

He has won the Lead Award twice, most recently in 2012, for his portrait series of Daphne Guinness in the 'Mood and Fashion photography of the year' category. His photographs have been published in numerous magazines such as Zoo, Vogue, Vanity Fair and L'Uomo Vogue.
