Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn
Dutch master photographer Anton Corbijn’s timeless and brooding aesthetic has cemented Depeche Mode’s reputation as effortlessly cool and cutting edge. With over 500 photographs from Corbijn’s personal archives, some never seen before, as well as stage set designs, sketches, album covers, and personal observations from Corbijn.
A visual amplification of Anton Corbijn's impact on the world’s biggest cult band
Featuring a multitude of off-the-cuff, candid images; and stunning live shots from all of Depeche Mode’s tours since 1988. In addition to the photographs, there are sketches and designs for stage sets and album covers, Corbijn’s handwritten captions throughout the book, placing the reader right in the middle of the shoot, and an extended interview with the Dutch master.
‘‘A lot of it came down to me, and I wanted it to be right for them. I wanted to think for them. To be great for them.’
Created with the full collaboration of the band, who also share some insights on working with Corbijn, Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn trumpets how one man’s original and unforgettable visuals helped shape the band’s enduring popularity. This book is a celebration of one of the most creative and enduring collaborations in rock history.
