Brian Griffin, the British photographer who shot the striking cover art for Depeche Mode's first five albums, has died, according to BBC News and Griffin's business partner Vaughn George.
Griffin took press shots of the likes of Kate Bush (in a series inspired by A Broken Frame), R.E.M., Talk Talk, and Iggy Pop, often goading subjects and using light machines of his own invention to capture dramatic, un-naturalistic images. In 2004, he shot a documentary on Paul McCartney, alongside extensive commercial and promotional work; a number of garlands, including the Centenary Medal from the Royal Photographic Society, followed.
