Star Trak

Rating:
Summary: Sampled Work of an Extraordinary Photographer.
Review: 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.

Summary: Unique photography
Review: In Star Trak Anton Corbjin proves to us that he is the leading portrait photographer in the world today. This book is filled with amazingly creative, high contrast pictures of many of the most exciting and famous actors and pop stars around the world. He has done lovely portraits of Björk, Johnny Depp,Tricky, Tom Jones, Vanessa Paradis and Bruce Springsteen among others. His pictures are very classic in their style, but the high contrast and breaking of compositional rules, he adds something new to the art of photography. His pictures are unique because each picture shows the star in a way you have never seen him/her before but manages to cath his/hers spirit and personality at the same time. If you are a photographer or are interested in photography (escpecially of the human being) buy this book now or buy this book if you just want to see the best picture of your favorite movie or pop star. Anton Corbjin is in my opinion the greatest photographer ever. I hope someday I will be as unique in my style and shoot as creative pictures as this genius. My favorite photography book by my favorite photographer.

Review: 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!!!!
