anton corbijn

photographer, music video director, and film director extraordinaire (NL)

'Photographer, filmmaker, and graphic- & stage designer Anton Corbijn earned the artistic recognition by capturing, in portraits, the psychological complexities of people like Gerhard Richter, Alexander McQueen, Marlene Dumas, Tom Waits, Martin Scorsese, Isabella Rossellini, and a myriad of other influential artists, musicians, actors, models, directors and designers. “He sees pleasure through guilty eyes and he sees good and evil in very dramatic ways," U2’s Bono says of Corbijn. 

Known for their intimacy, but with a rawness attached and mostly shot in nuanced natural light, his photographic portraits show elements of a documentary approach. Stemming from his love of music - he began his photographic career working for popular music magazines - he worked on over 200 album covers, and directed at least 80 music videos. The last fifteen years he has turned much of his attention to directing feature films such as the Ian Curtis story ‘Control’, ‘The American’ with George Clooney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s last film, ‘A Most Wanted Man’, though photography remains a strong love.

WORLDWIDE ACCLAIMEND AND EXHIBITED FINE-ART PHOTOGRAPHER ( UK )

Julia Fullerton-Batten is a fine-art photographer renowned for her highly cinematic visual story-telling. Her large-scale projects are based around specific themes. Each image in the project embellishes her subject matter in a series of thought-provoking narrative ‘stories' using staged tableaux and sophisticated lighting techniques.

Julia’s use of unusual locations, highly creative settings, street-cast models, accented with cinematic lighting are hallmarks of her style. She insinuates visual tensions in her images and imbues them with a mystique that teases the viewer into continually re-examining the picture; something new coming to the fore each time.

Her fine-art work is globally renowned and exhibited. She has won countless awards worldwide, is frequently portrayed in photographic journals, has published two books, is a Hasselblad Ambassador and a frequent speaker at international workshops and a juror of international competitions. Her images are on the front covers of 'A Guide to Collecting Contemporary Photography'. She has a permanent collection at the National Portrait Gallery, Musee de l’Elysee, Lausanne and the Parliamentary Art Collection, Houses of Parliament.
