Internationally acclaimed musician and photographer Bryan Adams will unveil his latest photography exhibition, SHOTBYADAMS, opening Monday, November 17, 2025, at the Leica Store & Gallery Los Angeles. The exhibition will be on view through December 1, 2025, offering an intimate look into Adams’ creative vision and passion for visual storytelling
#SHOTBYADAMS presents a striking collection of Bryan Adams’ photographic works that capture raw emotion, honesty, and humanity. Through his lens, Adams reveals the unfiltered beauty of his subjects—personalities from the worlds of entertainment, fashion and the arts. Most notable among these are his portraits of Amy Winehouse, taken while Adams looked to provide refuge for Winehouse at the height of her fame, and of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who Adams photographed smiling beside her wellington boots in Buckingham Palace.
Within his photographic practice, Adams has returned to capturing these candid, authentic moments of individuals, whether those in the public eye or ordinary people, and the connections formed in these interactions. Through his work, Adams conveys the ever-changing moods and trends associated with fame in our modern world, revealing the act of photography as both a staged event and one of self-staging.
“In #SHOTBYADAMS, I explore the human experience through light, composition, and authenticity. Photography, for me, is about trust and connection—it’s about capturing what exists between the subject and the lens in a single, unguarded moment. Each portrait tells its own story, shaped by honesty and emotion. Leica has been the constant in this creative journey, allowing me to see—and share—the world as it truly is,” said Bryan Adams.
#SHOTBYADAMS at the Leica Gallery LA will include photographs of notable figures from around the world, in black and white, color, and also including many images from his new ‘In Colour’ series, made with silver gelatine print under colored plexiglass.
While best known for his award-winning music career, Bryan Adams has established himself as a respected visual artist whose photographic work captures depth, vulnerability, and authenticity.
His portraits have been featured in major publications including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Esquire, and he has photographed many of the world’s most recognizable figures. Adams’ exhibitions have been showcased at prestigious institutions such as Somerset House in London, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the Kunsthalle Mainz.
Beyond his creative pursuits, Adams is dedicated to social impact and often uses his photography to raise awareness for humanitarian causes. His ability to translate emotion into image has solidified his standing as both a storyteller and artist, continuing to inspire audiences around the world through both his sound and his vision.
