Biography - (i)

Corbijn was born in 1955 in a town called Strijen, which is located in the Netherlands. Right from the start it seemed music would be a huge influence in his photographic career, as he began taking pictures of open air concerts in the early 1970's. In 1979 it was British musical acts such as Joy Division and Public Image Limited that turned the head of Corbijn, in which he would make the city of London his new home. These bands were looking for a photographer who could expose a more humane image about them.
