Anton Corbijn (born May 20, 1955 in Strijen, the Netherlands) is a photographer who is also well known for directing music videos, including Depeche Mode's late 1989 clip Personal Jesus and Nirvana's Heart-Shaped Box (1993).

Cobijn began taking photographs during a live concert in 1972. In 1979 he moved to London, England where he began to work with various rock bands such as Joy Division and Public Image Ltd. During this period Corbijn also began to take photographs for well know magazines such as Vogue and Rolling Stone Magazine.

After mastering photography Corbijn also decided to move into directing music videos.

In 1994, after directing various music videos, Corbijn directed a short film about Captain Beefheart for the BBC called "Some Yoyo Stuff".

Corbijn is due to direct the feature film Control, about the life of Ian Curtis, in 2006. The film is based on Deborah Curtis's Touching From A Distance Book.

Corbijn tends to eschew traditional glamour photography, instead favoring a rawer look, often in black-and-white. His subjects appear to be calm and far removed from everyday life. His photographs show raw emotion.
