Legendarily controversial advertising photographer Oliviero Toscani wants us to imagine an archaeologist a thousand years from now digging up an issue of TIME, circa 2007. "Maybe on the cover he'll find a poignant photograph of AIDS in Africa. Then he'll open up the magazine and see a photograph advertising a shiny Mercedes." Through his pistachio green designer glasses, the ad man's ever-twinkling eyes widen. "And then he'll see a big spread on the lost children of Brazil, which is followed by a double-page photograph for Chanel perfume." Knocking his knuckles once on the table...

Within two weeks he took an iconic picture of the band that showed singer and lyricist Ian Curtis turning back toward the camera, with unwitting portent, while...
Musicians have come to trust that visual instinct implicitly. "He has an understanding and an ability to manipulate light, and - far beyond that - a love and desire to perceive the human condition," says Michael Stipe, lead singer of R.E.M. 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). They turn...
