#shotbyadams is Bryan Adams’ new volume of portraiture from the past ten years, following the release of Exposed in 2012. The book features nearly 200 photographs of leading figures from the worlds of film, theatre, music, fashion, politics and beyond. From Queen Elizabeth II and the Dalai Lama to Joni Mitchell and Rod Stewart, from Amy Winehouse and Cher to Saoirse Ronan and Tobey Maguire, from Naomi Campbell and Pamela Anderson to Christoph Waltz and Charlotte Rampling—Adams has captured a who’s who in their respective fields. Whether his subjects play to the camera or reveal a sense of their selves beyond their personas, whether they form part of an elaborate photo-story or stand alone before a plain background, Adams’ portraits are decisive, direct and vital. Forewords by Giorgio Armani and Boy George offer insight into his approach.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is a digital platform dedicated to independent photobooks, photography publications, design books, and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues.

A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
