Editorial Reviews

Product Description

At first, Bryan Adams' photography was closely linked to his life as a music icon. As a Canadian rock star who has sold more than 60 million records since the early eighties, this multi-talented artist also photographed the backstage scene, and later for his own album covers. However, before long he was also shooting advertising campaigns for British designer John Richmond. Next, came highly acclaimed photographs in such prestigious magazines as Vogue and Vanity Fair. Several successful projects followed, including a tribute to his native land entitled Made in Canada, Haven which chronicled the upper echelons of British society, and American Women for fashion designer Calvin Klein. His work combines the vital energy of rock with the eclectic sophistication of his international upbringing. He has received extensive acclaim for his portraits of luminaries such as Pink, Hillary Clinton, and Pamela Anderson. In 2006, Adams received the German Lead Award for his series of portraits of Mickey Rourke.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the nicest Adams-biographies I've ever read, June 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Bryan Adams (Paperback)

This beautiful book stuffed with Badman-pictures really is a must for every Badfan on this earth. With over a hundred pictures in it, it shows Bryan Adams in a lot of different positions. Sleeping in an airplane, playing with dogs, standing on top of a rock in the desert of Utah and, of course, on stage. If not for the photographs, you should buy this book for the great comments on the pictures, written by Adams himself. Can you sing along to Vanishing, consists your CD-collection mostly of Adams-albums, do you get angry about everyone who spells Bryan with an 'i', or are you in any other way a die-hard, I would say: BUY THIS BOOK!
