Anton CORBIJN - A Lesson In Intoxicating And Striking Photography

Discover the work and stories behind some of Anton Corbjin and his most iconic photographs.

From starting out as a young photographer in the late 1970’s when he photographed bands like Joy Division and Cabaret Voltaire, he has gone on to become a world famous and ‘house photographer’ to both U2 and Depeche Mode.

Looking at his photographs throughout the decades is a great way to improve your own photography. Through out his career Anton has developed a style, look and feel to his work that is unique and instantly recognizable.

““For me N.M.E. was a very big thing. When I first came to the United Kingdom I started taking pictures for them and I became their main photographer for five years, and that's really been the basis of everything I've been doing since.””

Photography and rock music are intrinsically linked. Perhaps no other photographer working today is more linked to music than Anton Corbjin. His gritty black and white photography perfectly encapsulated the post punk ethos and this style has been carried over to his work directing both music videos and feature films.

Born in Holland, he is the son of a Protestant minister and moved to London in the late 1970’s to pursue his dream of becoming a rock and roll photographer. From a brief 5 minute photoshoot with Joy Division his career blossomed and he soon found himself working for the N.M.E (New Musical Express).
