Homeless - Bryan Adams

Six years ago Bryan Adams was approached by Trudie Styler to photo- graph 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 jour - nalists 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-chang - ing injuries during combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
