    Famed photographer/director Anton Corbijn

    I'm not sure if anybody here is familiar with Anton Corbijn but he is, by far, my favorite photographer of all time. His work is absolutely brilliant. Luckily for me and other fans of Corbijn, I recently heard that Universal is releasing this Directors Label series which features Corbijn and his magnificent work, from his iconic images to his work on music videos with artist like U2 and Depeche Mode. I read that the Directors Label series also features other well known directors from the past 20 or so years.

    I just wanted to spread the word because this is something that i'm sure interests lots of photographers (and even non-photographers) out there who enjoy beautiful art through images, music videos, movies,etc. Anyways, here's where i got the info for anybody who's curious: http://www.directorslabel.com/

    The body of his work within the realm of rock and roll is legendary, good to see another fan!

    Oh, it's amazing! I was working at a lab in the early 90's, and it had a lot of record company accounts. One of my co-workers knew I loved his work, and got me the outtakes from the contact sheets for a big name group's album (I'm being obscure because there could be legal issues, although I'm not using it for evil, just my own enjoyment.) It's a thrill to be able to look at his images and figure out his thought/seeing process.
