!! Tropes associated with Anton Corbijn's work

* CelebrityCameo: When you look at books devoted to his art you see a veritable ''who is who?'' of rock stars who emerged since the 1970s until now.
* CrossingTheDesert: He seems to have a fascination with the Mojave Desert in California and Death Valley in Utah, as he both shot the covers of ''Music/IceCreamForCrow'', ''Music/TheJoshuaTree'' and the film "Some Yo Yo Stuff" there.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: All his photographs are in black-and-white. ''Film/{{Control}}'' was shot in this color too.
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: His photographs are striking images that show his subjects both as ''cool rockstars'', but as normal human beings as well.
* LeFilmArtistique: "Some Yo-Yo Stuff", where Music/CaptainBeefheart is interviewed in black-and-white imagery, while light and shadows pass by and the questions are written on a film projector. Also features shots of the Mojave Desert, a clip where a fish is seen travelling across the desert (shot while being held to a car window) and even a cameo of Creator/DavidLynch.
* TheFilmOfTheSong: ''Linear'' (2009), a 58-minute film, is effectively "The Film of the Album" of {{U2}}'s ''No Line on the Horizon'' (2009), featuring 10 of the 11 songs from the album and one other song that was cut from the final album. Corbijn [[http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2009/april/u2-linear-its-not-a-music-video-2 has insisted]] that the film is not an extended music video, but rather "a new way to listen to a record -- a new way to use film to connect to music," making it an example of this.
* NotableMusicVideos: See the above list.
* OddFriendship: Corbijn was good friends with the normally ReclusiveArtist Music/CaptainBeefheart, an honor he only shared with Beefheart's other friends Music/PJHarvey and Creator/JohnPeel. In 1993 Corbijn made the first documentary about Beefheart: "Some Yo-Yo Stuff", a 13-minute black-and-white short film where Vliet is interviewed about various topics, while Corbijn provides artistically interesting shadow work and shots of the Mojave Desert.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Despite being best known for photographing rock artists Corbijn's design for Music/{{REM}}'s ''Music/AutomaticForThePeople'' is a more abstract design. His later films, from ''Film/TheAmerican'' on, have nothing whatsoever to do with rock stars at all.
* {{Rock}}: Best known for photographing rock stars and bands, though he has also photographed people from outside that genre, such as authors Creator/JohnLeCarre, Marlene Dumas, Creator/GoreVidal and Remco Campert, opera singer Music/LucianoPavarotti, cyclist Lance Armstrong, photo models Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, activist Nelson Mandela, painters Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Gilbert & George, Anselm Kiefer, Lucian Freud, Karel Appel and Luc Tuymans and actors Creator/SeanPenn, Creator/ClintEastwood, Creator/RobertDeNiro and Creator/JohnnyDepp.
* SelfDeprecation: Corbijn has made a series of self-portraits over the years, where he dresses himself up as famous rock stars, including Music/BruceSpringsteen, Music/FrankZappa, Music/JohnLennon, Music/BobMarley looking absolutely ridiculous.
* SkullForAHead: In 2011 he made a portrait of painter Damien Hirst where his eyes and teeth have the appearance of a skull.
* SmokingIsCool: Several photo's show badass smoker poses of artists like Bono, Music/JohnHiatt, Music/IanCurtis, Music/KeithRichards, Bono, Music/NickCave,...
* WartsAndAll: Corbijn doesn't shy away from showing wrinkles, pores and other signs of old age in the faces and bodies of the rock artists he photographs.
* WholesomeCrossDresser: In 1996 he photographed Music/MickJagger in drag.
