Exploring portraiture of influential musicians, Star Trak by Anton Corbijn captures the aura and intensity of his subjects through stark, high-contrast black and white imagery. The visual approach focuses on the interplay of shadow and light to underline the complex personalities behind public personas.

The photographs, collected in this 113-page volume from 1996, maintain a mood of introspection and raw authenticity, eschewing elaborate settings for minimal backgrounds that highlight expression and posture. Corbijn’s approach documents cultural figures in a contemplative manner, reflecting a moment in music history through intimate close-ups and candid angles.
