Ever since 1982, in other words for over 22 years noiw, photographer Anton Corbijn has been one of the creative mins accompanying the inexorable rise of Irish rock group U2 to the status of the world's greatest rock band. It has been an ultra-special symbiotic relationship that in terms of continuity and loyalaty flies in the face of today's trend to prioritize short-lived links. Moreover, it is totally unique in the music world, as no other photographer has remained true to a successful band over such a lengthy period of time - and vice versa. Anton Corbijn more or less "invented" U2's image as a band, and even today he continues to play a strong part in defining it. Behind the scenes, with camera and hand, he has followed the band's constantly growing fame and success, preserving for posterity the key moments in their career in the form of his characteristically Corbijn photographs.
