Corbijn also directed the music video for the band’s single, “Atmosphere” which was released in 1988. During the film, some of the actual pictures he took are featured. As a result, his career as a photographer received a noticeable boost.
There, he shot a number of pictures for a magazine called NME. In real life, he had met the band after moving to England in the late 1970s. The film was a passion project for director Anton Corbijn who had been a devout fan of Joy Division in real life, going back to their early days.
