Bryan Adams: Homeless

Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Six years ago, Bryan Adams was commissioned by Trudie Styler to photograph a portrait story of homeless street vendors for The Big Issue magazine. This initial project inspired a more comprehensive photographic exploration of the individuals living on the streets of London who sell the magazine. The Big Issue is a weekly publication created by professional journalists and photographers, designed to provide the homeless with a legitimate income and help their reintegration into society. Adams' portraits are direct, compassionate, and dignified, capturing character beyond social and economic circumstances. This work can be seen as a continuation of his earlier project, Wounded: The Legacy of War, featuring portraits of young British soldiers injured in combat.

Six years ago, Bryan Adams was approached by Trudie Styler to photograph a portrait story of homeless street vendors for The Big Issue magazine. 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 are direct, compassionate, and full of dignity. They depict character beyond social and economic circumstance, and can be seen as a continuation of Adams' 2013 Wounded: The Legacy of War, his portraits of young British soldiers who suffered life-changing injuries during combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
