Photography 1970s & 1980s

From Corbijn's book Werk, here are some of his black and white pictures of well known musicians from the 70's and 80's.

Corbijn: In the 70s and 80s I photographed man and his environment. I would encounter, say, John Martyn or Steely Dan or David Bowie and more or less take the photos where I met them. I call it my period of "looking in from the outside". I hardly ever prepared, as I didn't trust my own ideas, didn't bring lights or an assistant, and would rely completely on the location of our meeting. A lot of intuitive and nervous decisions, but somehow it worked most of the time.
