Corbijn has photographed Stipe neck-high in the ocean and once woke him at 6 a.m. to catch the dawn light for a shoot. It's a testament to the respect Corbijn commands that pampered rock stars let him photograph them crawling naked along a riverbank (Iggy Pop), cross-dressing (Dave Grohl) or in a loincloth (David Bowie).
