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...

"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...
