To be quite honest, I’ve never seen this image of the band before. The most recognizable image in my opion of the band is one taken by photographer Anton Corbijn of the group on a flight of stairs in a subway.Joy Division, Hulme, Manchester, 6 January 1979 [cropped]
“Already, by then, I’ve shot two thirds of a roll of film, and I’m conscious of the fact that I didn’t really think I had anything. I’m walking up the bridge and they’re waiting for me, and I just felt it looked so bleak and they were so un-rock’n’roll like.. that I took two frames and then took an upright shot of the same thing and that’s all I did of that picture. And that’s become, probably.. the most recognized Joy Division image..”
