In the late 1990s Bryan Adams became curious about making photographic self-portraits for his album covers, and so chose to pick up the camera himself. That serendipitous decision was the beginning of a successful photographic career, parallel to Adams' impressive achievements as a singer, songwriter and producer. Exposed is a retrospective of Adams' photography and features portraits of friends and colleagues in the entertainment, fashion and art industries, including Morrissey, Ben Kingsley, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Louise Bourgeois, Lindsay Lohan and Judi Dench. This book, Adams' first comprehensive monograph, exposes not only unknown facets of his subjects but also the depth of Adams' photographic faculty.

During the first weeks of 2015, photographer and musician Bryan Adams (born 1959) visited the island of Mustique in the West Indies, one of that particular breed of island destinations known for its turquoise water, unspoiled sand, lush vegetation and illustrious guests. On one of the beaches, Adams noticed that the rising and receding waves of the Caribbean Sea had formed abstract patterns in the sand. Adams photographed many of these abstract formations in black and white, drawing out the resemblance between the night sky and the patterns in the sand.Adams--already well known as a singer, songwriter and producer--first became interested in photography more than 20 years ago, creating his own album covers. Over the next two decades, he quietly established himself as a working photographer, with images appearing in Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, Interview magazine and i-D. Luxuriously produced and exquisitely printed, this large-format volume shows Adams' vision of the sea, in all its unstoppable force and incredible beauty.

Six years ago photographer and musician Bryan Adams (born 1959) was approached by actress and director Trudie Styler to photograph a portrait story of homeless street vendors for the magazine The Big Issue. That story inspired a more in-depth photographic look at these people who live on the streets of London and sell the magazine. The Big Issue is a weekly publication created by professional journalists and photographers, and sold on the streets to provide the homeless with legitimate income and facilitate their reintegration into mainstream society. Today The Big Issue is published in several international editions throughout Asia and Africa. Adams' portraits depict characters beyond social and economic circumstance, and can be seen as a continuation of his 2013 book Wounded: The Legacy of War.

In a world saturated with performance-driven messaging and soft-pedaled narratives, this book offers a new approach to leadership and communication that is both honest and intensely effective. The author argues that while truthfulness is a moral necessity, selling the truth with intention is a strategic superpower. Far from manipulation or spin, this method involves shaping the right truth with clarity and weight, transforming it into influence and momentum that audiences, customers and employees are ready to follow and buy. Leaders often value truth, but few have been taught how to find, shape, and intentionally sell it to build genuine conviction—this book bridges that gap. The core of this transformative philosophy is The Truth Cascade, an organizational law that maps the journey from insight to competitive edge: Truth becomes clarity, clarity shapes culture, culture builds capability, and capability becomes competitive advantage. Sell the Truth provides leaders with the method to activate this cascade, introducing a practical framework designed to navigate difficult conversations, align teams, and ensure that your organizational narrative creates belief rather than resistance.
