Peter Lindbergh is one of the most renowned fashion photographers. Assistant, for two years, to the Düsseldorf-based photographer, Hans Lux, in 1978 he goes to Paris and starts working for Italian Vogue, then the English, French, German, and American editions.
His style and his interpretation of fashion trends are unique for the time: no exotic locations, nor special props, but pure simplicity.
He shoots the most popular models in ordinary spaces, with the natural attitude of any woman in usual moments.
Behind his work his philosophy: “When someone creates something: a painting, a poem, a photograph, the creativity comes from an idea, from a feeling, from emotion, or from a combination of ideas, feelings and emotions that are somehow ‘reborn’ from all our experiences and perspectives. Creativity is the desire to express ourselves.. ”
His references – experiences and culture – are linked to German Expressionism, cinema and visual arts, and to the observation of the contemporary world with all its concerns and anxieties.
