Favourite Darkness

Unique, in-depth study of Anton Corbijns photography by means of composition, lighting, and viewer perspective Ive always liked to photograph people who are in the public eye. I feel it gives you one step ahead you can play with whatever image they already have. Anton Corbijn Anton Corbijns photography offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of cultural icons, stripping away glamour to reveal raw humanity. This book explores his distinctive approach on image-making, examining his use of composition, lighting, and perspective while drawing connections to art history. Corbijns subjectscaptured in unexpected settingsappear both unguarded and authentic, offering a striking contrast to their public personas. With texts by Ingried Brugger, Taous Dahmani, Sebastian Fasthuber and Lisa Ortner-Kreil Publication accompanying the exhibition at Bank Austria Kunstforum in Vienna from February 15 until June 29, 2025.
