unity and one that rages against war limits. but canadian rubber stopper ion adam. these days he switched his guitar for a camera. and while he made his name with celebrity portraits his latest subject, southwind, it war, veterans, scars, disfigurement and prosthetic limbs. with war raging in ukraine, brian adams, photos of maimed former soldiers resonate more than ever. what prompted him to take these pictures? there were many people coming back from iraq and afghanistan that were in pieces. lost their arms or legs and you started to see them on the high street. it started with one pitcher, and then i met somebody else who met somebody else and that somebody else started formulate, what was the beginning for his photo series? wounded?

brian adams spent years meeting with british war veterans. he invited them and their families to his studio, since they're all casualties of war. he portrays them in a respectful, not voyeuristic light. i have this theory about pictures and that when you're working with somebody, you have one. there is only one minute in the session. that is magic. the rest of this just pictures. because if you get one good picture out of her a day than you've done well, oh, bryan adam rose to fame in the 1980s through his music. but now he's a respected photographer too. amy winehouse got down on her knees for him. and belo rock star, pink post topless. i mean the whole thing in between the 2
