Anton Corbijn, Photographer, London

Description

This striking black and white portrait features four men, members of the rock band U2 including Bono, posed closely together against an expansive mountainous desert backdrop. Photographed by Anton Corbijn, the composition employs a dramatic horizontal framing with high-contrast monochrome tones and heavy grain that accentuates the rugged textures of the terrain and their clothing. The subjects wear dark outerwear, with one member wearing a distinctive round hat and another wearing glasses, creating a solemn and intense mood. Natural outdoor lighting highlights the stark contours of their faces and the arid landscape stretching into the distance.
