Most people are aware of Bryan Adams, the singer, songwriter - but did you know that he also has a successful career as a photographer? WILLAS contemporary will be presenting his works in Norway this summer.

The exhibition ‘Exposed’ presents fashion photography of the highest order, published in the world’s most renowned fashion magazines, as well as images of friends, colleagues and other personalities that Bryan Adams has photographed. People like Lana Del Ray, Morrissey, Ben Kingsley, Amy Winehouse and Louise Bourgeois.

"Wounded - The Legacy of War” is a book of young British soldiers who suffered life changing injury in Iraq and Afghanistan or during training will also be shown in Oslo. Adams’ lens bares witness to their scars, disability and disfigurement.

“Untitled" photographs that have never been exhibited before, beautiful abstract black and white prints of black sand will form a meditative space in the mid section of the Gallery.
