Beauty Redefined
For 40 years, Peter Lindbergh has been one of fashion’s most revered photographers. Most recognized for his striking black-and-white photos of ’90s models like Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista, Lindbergh is one of several names credited for the rise of the supermodel.
A Retrospective
Inkfield Media spent time with Peter at the launch of his exhibition and accompanying book “A Different Vision on Fashion Photography” in Rotterdam’s Kunsthal museum. But while Lindbergh has made his career selling images of beauty, he balks at the airbrushed images that are ubiquitous today, and refuses to retouch his own images.
“The models are totally wiped out and washed out. And I think that’s insane,” he says. “That dream of perfection, and that dream of being forever young, it’s just a ridiculous thought.”
More Than Just Fashion
He’s also turned his lens on actors (Julianne Moore, Charlotte Rampling) and musicians (Tina Turner, Daft Punk), as well as cultural mavericks like the late Pina Bausch; creating magazine editorials, album covers, and ad campaigns.
