Peter Lindbergh
Peter was born on November 23, 1944 in Leszno, Poland (the city was
annexed by Germany as part of Reichsgau Wartheland between 1939 and
1945), and grew up in the West German in town of Duisburg; he is a German
photographer and filmmaker. He created a kind of black and white style in the
fashion photography, and he is one of the fashion photographers to push the
model become ‘super model’. He worked for the English, French, German, and
American Vogue, later for The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Allure, and Rolling
Stone.
In his childhood, he lived in a farm that belongs to his uncle. Near the farm,
there was lot of old factories. He got lots of memories from the factories, so we
can usually see this element in his works. He interested in shooting the women
with the factories as the background. It is so strong to contrast the atmosphere
between the women and factories.

In 1977 he got a call from a famous German art director- Willy Fleckhaus, he
asked Lindbergh work for him and do stories. From that on, Lindbergh started
to work on fashion photography. The best-known style of his works is black and
white fashion photo. He used the memories from the traditional German black
and white movie and transfer in his works. Most of the fashion picture is super
real, full of art element and full of effect. But in his work, it’s ‘so real’, just like
honest to told a story, the model can show the real emotion in front of his
camera. His works not just like the photos, the images, the pictures, his works
just like freeze-frame a moment of a film.
