Using this medium format camera was the turning point for Bryan Adams, “Virtually every photo looked so much more beautiful to me than anything I’d shot before.” For example the one of Amy Winehouse in the Land Rover on the island of Mustique, Morrissey in his hotel suite in Rome, Dustin Hoffman on the beach in Malibu. He fell in love with that camera and many of the photos in his later published book “Exposed” were taken using that camera. In 1980 he upgraded from his Polaroid SX70 he’d used for quite some time and bought his first Rolleiflex. During the 60’s and 70’s Adams captured his surrounding, everything from concerts, his girlfriend in the bath, to the wall in the parking lot. His interest in photography was born already in the 1960’s, both his parents had a Kodak Instamatic and a Howell super 8 film camera. I was into music and had a definite idea of what I wanted to do from a very early age," says Adams, who left school at the age of 15 to concentrate on singing, playing guitar and writing songs. ”I was the biggest clown in the class and was expelled for being genuinely disinterested and disorderly. But he was never interested in academics. He was dragged around the world from posting to posting, sometimes going to school. He spent much of his youth living in Europe and the Middle East due to his father's diplomatic postings for the Canadian government. Bryan Adams was born to English parents who emigrated to Canada.
