A defining photobook by Anton Corbijn, Famouz: Photographs 1975–88 documents the formative years of his career and the emergence of a new visual language in music photography.
Spanning over a decade, the book brings together a wide range of portraits of influential musicians and cultural figures from the mid-1970s through the late 1980s. Rather than conventional promotional imagery, Corbijn’s photographs are marked by a stark, atmospheric style defined by deep shadows, grain, and a restrained tonal palette.
Rejecting polished aesthetics, his approach strips away spectacle, presenting subjects in quiet, introspective states. The images operate less as celebrity portraits and more as psychological studies, where mood and presence take precedence over identity.
A seminal work that redefined the visual representation of musicians and shaped the language of editorial photography for decades to come.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
