Anton Corbijn
Photographer
Miles Davis
This picture is taken in a studio. It is famous because it got onto a famous magazine and many people saw it. Corbijn took this picture in less than 5 minutes. Corbijn told Davis to do some weird stuff and Davis did so Corbijn got this shot. It was taken in Davis' hotel room.
What To Learn
Corbijn uses being yourself as a style when he takes pictures. He took the shot quickly in Davis' hotel room. I don't think there is an over-use of elements of art. Anton can get a good picture without the use of lots of equipment.
My Opinion
I like this portrait. I think it's unique because he is the only one to pull his face down like he did in a portrait. I wouldn't change anything about this picture. I believe he captured the personality in this portrait.
