Anton Corbijn, Photographer, London

Description

A black and white shot presents a raised fist clenching a piece of black, tasseled cloth. The arm extends upward from the lower right corner of the frame, drawing the eye to the fist, which is tightly closed around the fabric. The cloth drapes down from the fist, its tassels adding a textural contrast to the smooth skin of the arm and hand. The background features an out-of-focus utility pole. The monochromatic palette contributes to a stark and serious mood.
