Since August 1, the photo exhibition #Shotbyadams in the Amberger Congress Centrum (ACC) has shown almost 80 works by rock star and photographer Bryan Adams – many of them have never been presented in public. This includes, for example, actor Willem Dafoe, puncating Iggy Pop, rapper Sawetie and Popikone Cher.
By September 19, visitors to the exhibition in the ACC can look forward to exceptional and very large -format photographs ‘Shot by’ rock star and photographer Bryan Adams. Robbie Williams, Danny Trejo, Victoria Beckham, Naomi Campbell or Queen Elisabeth II are just a few of the personalities that have already stood for him.
What makes the Amberger show so special is the fact that over 10 of the works presented have never been shown to the public in an exhibition. Some of them come from Bryan Adam’s shoot for the Pirelli calendar. Lt. The curator of the exhibition, Anke Degenhard, was recently agreed to publish these pictures.
Anke Degenhard from Hamburg from the Crossover agency has been working with Bryan Adams for about 25 years. Together with Mat Humphrey from London, who has been in charge of Adams’ international photo exhibitions for just as many years, she curated the Amberg exhibition.

#Shotbyadams – The exhibition in the ACC
The works selected for the exhibition in the ACC focus on Bryan Adams’ photographs of famous personalities from the world of entertainment, fashion and art. It has been the largest solo exhibition of this group of work in Germany for a long time.
In his photographs, Bryan Adams focuses on people and he comes very close to the stars. The viewer feels the familiarity between the photographer and each of his motifs – always with the ironic awareness that the photo is a staged event and an event of self -staging.
This creates atmospheric, multifaceted portraits that captivate the viewer, remember, sometimes stimulate thought.
