Anton Corbjin Photo Style

Anton Corbijn, a master of photography whose work has defined the look of generations of music icons. Born in the Netherlands in 1955, Corbijn began his career by capturing local Dutch bands with his father's camera at the age of 17. His passion for music and photography led him to London in the early 1980s, where he started working for the music magazine NME and quickly gained recognition for his striking black-and-white portraits.

Corbijn's signature style is characterized by high contrast, grainy images that evoke a sense of raw intimacy and imperfection. He believes that "imperfection is much closer to how life is than perfection". His photographs often feature motion blur and natural textures, creating a timeless and atmospheric quality that captures the essence of his subjects. Whether it's his iconic portraits of David Bowie, U2, or Joy Division, Corbijn's work transcends mere celebrity photography, delving into the deeper humanity of his subjects.
Throughout his career, Corbijn has also directed over 80 music videos and several feature-length films, further cementing his status as a versatile and influential artist. His cool aesthetics and innovative techniques have left an indelible mark on the world of photography and music, making him a true legend in his field1.
