Anton Corbijn on his intimate celebrity portraiture

The Moment caught up with the 55-year-old Corbijn on a recent Tuesday morning at the 60 Thompson Hotel. He was dressed in head-to-toe gray (jeans, sweater, shirt), a look that accentuated his bright blue eyes and silver hair. Corbijn had just flew in from Holland, where he lives in The Hague after a 30-year residency in London. He spoke in a quiet, measured tone, but with an unmistakable passion for his work that mirrors that of his subjects.
