Anton Corbijn, Photographer, London

Description

This black and white magazine cover portrait features Bono posing outdoors in front of a sparse desert landscape. Photographed by Anton Corbijn, the subject wears a dark buttoned jacket over a shirt, holding his right hand up to his head with his elbow raised. The high-contrast grainy photographic style highlights textured details in the clothing and the barren background. Bold yellow typographic elements frame the top and left margins of the cover.
