Some history behind this famous image:
This image became famous when it was used in an advertisement for Maxell. The photographer was Steve Steigman, and the photo is called “Blown Away.” Musician Peter Murphy, of the group Bauhaus, is the man in the photo.
“In the 1980s, Maxell became an icon of pop culture when it produced advertisements popularly known as ‘Blown Away Guy’ for its line of audio cassettes. The original campaign began as a trade ad in 1978 and was made into TV spots in 1979 which ran throughout the 1980s. Steve Steigman was the photographer… The ads depict a man sitting low in a (le Corbusier) high armed chair (on the right side of the screen) in front of, and facing, his stereo system (on the left side of the screen). His hair and necktie, along with the lampshade to the man’s right and the martini glass on the low table to the man’s left, are being blown back by the tremendous sound from speakers in front of him supposedly due to the audio accuracy of Maxell’s product.”
