About Famouz
Famouz established the reputation of Anton Corbijn as the photographer who redefined the genre of music photography.
With its over 100 provocative black-and-white photographs, Famouz offers more than mere documentary registration of the music icons of the 1970s and 1980s.
The photographs in Famouz reveal themselves in a characteristic tone and dark, veiled mood, eliminating every suggestion of glitter and glamour.
