Biographie de Anton Corbijn

Anton Corbijn est un photographe et réalisateur hollandais (1955).

Il débute sa carrière au mensuel musical Oor en 1977 avant de s'installer à Londres où il intègre le magazine New Musical Express. Ses clichés noir et blanc fortement contrastés le font connaître et de nombreuses stars passent devant son objectif (David Bowie, U2, Miles Davis, Clint Eastwood, etc.). Il collabore fréquemment avec Depeche Mode (depuis 1986), groupe pour lequel il réalise clips et pochettes à de nombreuses reprises ainsi que les installations scéniques de leurs impressionnants lives.

Le DVD The Work of Director Anton Corbijn regroupe ses principales réalisations (Nirvana, The Killers, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, etc.).
Il réalise Control en 2007, un long-métrage sur la vie de Ian Curtis, long-métrage présenté à la Quinzaine des réalisateurs du Festival de Cannes 2007
