Anton Corbijn’s "firstborn child" Famouz, our own publication launched in 1989, really sparked things off. All of a sudden, the photographer, who had long been a nominee for success behind the scenes of the pop world and record industry, entered the limelight. His portraits of rock and pop idols had a completely different, completely novel slant: they were pensive, melancholic, more personal, galaxies away from the world of showbiz, glamour and image makers. Corbijn is now famous all over the world. His photographs, which led to a new era of music photography, are on display at international exhibitions. With an introduction by Bono and designed by star designer Peter Saville, the book contains photos of Tom Waits, Sinéad O’Connor, Pete Townsend, Joe Cocker, Siouxie Sioux, David Bowie, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Bono, Kate Bush, Sting, Leonard Cohen and many more.

This review is from: Famouz: Anton Corbijn Photographs 1975 88 (Hardcover)
Arguably the finest portrait photographer alive today.
A stunning collection of portraits mainly from the music industry. Whilst many try to pidgeon hole mr corbijn as solely a music photographer his work is important for its contribution to portrait photography and black and white film photography in the most general sense. The lighting, composition and artistic direction is without equal.
