Corbijn's U2
Anton Corbijn, U2 and I:
The photographs 1982 - 2004,
Schirmer/Mosel
U2 fans will love this: 400ish pages of
Corbijn photos and commentary taking in the
heyday of U2's fame and popularity. It's also
a quite apt thing as Corbijn's photos,
particularly the b&w ones, were really central
to U2's image - a sort of arty edginess that
most definitely extended what they did on stage.
Corbijn's commentary, in the form of
handwritten notes, is pleasantly done and U2
trainspotters get a nice fat helping of
information about various doings of the band
both in connection with the photos and
generally.
