Bryan Adams.

In December, he performed a solo show at the Brady in Tulsa, and held a book-signing for "Exposed" at Philbrook Museum. The book was released last October.
His related photography exhibit in Oklahoma City will be open through May 17.
His book includes subjects such as Judi Dench, Lana Del Rey, Mick Jagger, Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson.
The OKC exhibit will include his photos of Danny Trejo, Victoria Beckham, Lindsay Lohan, Amy Winehouse, Mickey Rourke, Lana Del Rey, Natalia Vodianova, Pink, Mick Jagger, Sean Penn, Queen Elizabeth II, Sir Ben Kingsley and South African rave rapper Yo-Landi Visser, among others, organizers said.
Photography is a passion that’s not unlike making music. But then again, he said during a recent interview, the two arts are at opposite creative poles.
“It’s very different (than making music), but it requires as much concentration and effort. In a way I feel like one feeds the other, but that may be only in the way that a change is as good as a rest. In other words, when you get away from something and come back to it, you see it with new love,” he said in December.
Adams has sold more than 65 million records with hits including “Cuts Like a Knife,” “Summer of ’69,” “Kids Wanna Rock,” “Can’t Stop This Thing We’ve Started,” “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You,” “Open Road” and most recently “Thought I’d Seen Everything.”
