Star Trak
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Anton Corbijn initiated a new era in portrait photography for the rock and pop music scene with his atmospheric, often melancholy images. One of his unmistakable qualities is his ability to see directly through his subject's masquerades. Taken primarily in black & white, most of Corbijn’s photographs are shot in those quiet moments between performances. Corbijn has moved beyond the boundaries of music photography and Star Trak reads like a visual encyclopedia of the icons of our culture. From film directors like Wim Wenders, David Lynch, and Martin Scorsese to actors like Johnny Depp, Gerard Depardieu and Jodie Foster, and including such familiar faces like Mick Jagger, Kurt Cobain, and William S. Burroughs, Corbijn takes us through the looking glass to redefine the character of today's cult heroes.

The pictue of Kurt Cobain's back on page 74, gives you an idea of what you have in store in this book. Pictures that are so powerful that no words are needed to describe them! Anton has captured some of my favorite bands throughout the years and now finally there is a composite book that captures even more of them. Check out the hauntingly beautiful picture of Jeff Buckley, the tranquil picture of Morrissey, Dave Gahan, and scattered throughout the book very visually stunning pictures of Michael Stipe. This book is a must for photography buffs and anyone who appreciates a great picture! Go for it! Thanks Anton!!!!

Anton Corbijn is a genius. As a photographer and/or album cover designer for groups like Depeche Mode, U2, and REM, his unique style captures my attention like no other. Unlike Herb Ritts or Bruce Weber who, by comparison, appear glossy and slick, Corbijn has a gritty approach to photography that makes him stand apart from the competition. No doubt, "Star Trak" is pricey, but for those looking to spice up their coffeetable would be foolish to ignore this great book. A few stars who have gotten the Corbijn treatment are Clint Eastwood, Morrissey, David Gahan, Tricky, Neil Young, Kurt Cobain, and countless others. Handsomely presented and elegantly shot, "Star Trak" is worth a purchase.

WOW! That's all I can say about Anton Corbijn (cor-bin)Just thought you'd like to know.The most amazing, precise, moving, expressive, imaginative, distinct, photos I've ever seen!(And I have a BFA in photography!)well worth any cost.

Anton Corbijn is well known in the world of musicians ,actors ,writers,poets and other artperformers .He photographed them in an unusuale and exceptional way in beautiful black and white pictures
