Bryan Adams, the Canadian rock singer, is also a portrait photographer. He has taken images of his friends and colleagues, including Kate Moss, Mick Jagger, Amy Winehouse, and Her Royal Highness.
. His subjects have included his friends and colleagues , British military veterans, and homeless street venders. In 2001, he was commissioned as Canada’s official photographer for Queen Elizabeth’s Golden Jubilee portraits.
“I’ve not seen them finished like this,” Adams said, of the color-saturated images. “It looks cool.” He gestured at his portrait of the Queen and Prince Philip: “Royal red.” For the series, Adams had been inspired by the expression “seeing things through rose-tinted glasses.” He said, “It sounded cool, right?” Earlier, Ben Burdett, the gallery’s director, had compared the effect to looking into a fishbowl, the plexiglass acting as a filter that ensnares the celebrity subjects. “They’re sort of trapped,” he said.
Downstairs, a selection of Adams’s black-and-white prints was on display. The photographer Julia Bostock was helping set up champagne flutes on a table. Adams greeted her with a kiss on the cheek. He told her that he’d just played Madison Square Garden and that some of the crew had remembered him from the last time he was there. “ ‘Mr. Adams, how ya doin’?’ ” he mimicked, in a Long Island accent.
