A photo book as a tribute to one of the most influential music photographers of our time: Anton Corbijn has captured three decades of pop culture in black and white. From Nick Cave to Nirvana, from U2 to R.E.M., from the Rolling Stones to Siouxsie and the Banshees – hardly any significant musician or band is missing from his archive. This volume brings together hundreds of photographs, many of which arose from years of friendship with the musicians. Published just in time for Corbijn's 70th birthday, it is accompanied by major international exhibitions in 2025/26 in Stockholm, Berlin, Tallinn, New York, and Shanghai.
