U2
Death Valley, USA 1986
This is the vinyl cover photo for " The Joshua Tree ", shot in December 1986
so it wasn’t warm although it is in the desert. This is the most serious set of
shots I have taken of U2 and they became my most well-known photographs
at the time. It was taken with a panoramic camera to take more of the landscapes
in which was the main idea of the shoot : man and environment, the Irish in
America. Not counting the " Rattle & Hum " album, the next cover was a lot more
loose and colourful (" Achtung Baby ").
