SynopsisThis book analyzes Anton Corbijn's diverse work through parameters such as image composition, structure, lighting, and viewer perspective, while also establishing references to art history. Artists in front of Corbijn's camera appear undisguised and authentic, often achieved by placing his subjects in unusual settings. Corbijn, who emphasizes his desire "to be close to the creative people with the camera," creates a unique, recognizable tone in his work. His melancholic, dark images reveal the vulnerability and transience of humanity, offering a glimpse behind the celebrity facade. Text in English and German., Anton Corbijn's photographs are intimate portraits of iconic cultural figures that reveal their raw humanity. This book-as well as the exhibition shown by Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien that it is based Unon-explores his distinctive take on image-making, his use of composition, lighting, and perspective, in a wider art-history context. Corbijn's subjects-often captured in unexpected settings-appear in front of the camera with a natural ease that is in striking contrast to their public personas.
