Favourite Darkness cover

This book analyses 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 emphasises his desire "to be close to the creative people with the camera," creates a unique, recognisable tone in his work. His melancholic, dark images reveal the vulnerability and transience of humanity, offering a glimpse behind the celebrity facade.
