Leica Gallery Presents Bryan Adams’ ‘ShotByAdams’
ENTERTAINMENT
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 worlds of rock music and fine art photography have famously intertwined, but rarely are they captured by the same creative force. Leica Store & Gallery Los Angeles is preparing to host a captivating new exhibition, ShotByAdams, showcasing the photographic work of musician Bryan Adams. This exhibition, running from December 5, 2025, through January 15, 2026, offers an intimate and unexpected look at the cultural landscapes that have defined Adams' nearly five-decade career.
Known globally for anthems like "Summer of '69" and "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," Bryan Adams has cultivated an equally impressive reputation as a photographer, chronicling the worlds of celebrity, fashion, and social justice. The Leica Gallery, a destination that celebrates the art of photography, is the perfect venue for this display of personal vision.
The Musician Behind the Camera
Adams’ photographic style is distinguished by its candor, authenticity, and striking black-and-white aesthetic. His images possess a raw intimacy, reflecting the trust and mutual respect he has built with his subjects, a rapport likely fostered by his own life in the public eye.
The exhibition, curated by Reid O'Connell, pulls back the curtain on the extraordinary access Adams has to global icons. While the press release does not specify every subject, Adams’ portfolio is known to include portraits of high-profile figures from the music, film, and fashion industries. These are not celebrity snapshots; they are deeply personal portraits that capture his subjects with a quiet dignity and subtle vulnerability.
A Career Defined by Candor
Adams’ journey into photography began in the late 1990s and has since developed into a profound artistic discipline. He has photographed subjects for major international publications and collaborated on several highly regarded books, often focusing his personal work on powerful social themes. His ability to connect with people, whether they are musical peers or individuals facing difficult circumstances, gives his photographic work a resonance that parallels his songwriting.
The photographs in ShotByAdams represent the convergence of his two artistic lives, illustrating that the rock and roll ethos, authenticity, emotion, and storytelling is woven into his visual art just as deeply as it is into his music.
The exhibition will be on view at the Leica Gallery Los Angeles, located at 8783 Beverly Boulevard, from December 5, 2025, to January 15, 2026. For fans of both music and photography, it offers a rare opportunity to see the world through the discerning, honest lens of a global icon.
