He saw the world differently: fashion photographer Peter Lindberg died
The man who created the magical images of super-models passed away. He stood on the other side of the camera, and therefore few knew about him, but in the world of fashion his name meant a lot. Died at the age of 74 German photographer Peter Lindberg. This was reported by the media with reference to the photographer’s page on the social network. The causes of Peter’s death are not reported.
He was a favorite photographer for Naomi Campbell, Linda Evagelisty, Kate Moss and Natalia Vodianova. And all because no one like him knew how to see female images so surprisingly and unconventionally.
To invite Peter to work on the project was considered a great honor by such designers as Karl Lagerfeld and Giorgio Armani.
Peter was born in Poland in 1944, grew up in Germany. From childhood, he was drawn to the beautiful - He loved drawing lessons and attended art school. The love of photography woke up in him in 1971, and then he decided to try his hand at the then fashionable profession - an advertising photographer.
Fate decreed that in 1978 he was forced to move to Paris, and the fashion capital did not leave him any choice - he was drawn into the fashion world. He shot Nastasia Kinsky and Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour, Tatyana Sorokko and Isabella Rossellini. One of his most successful sessions was working with the Russian Olga Rodionova for photographs of the Pushkin Museum.
His pictures were published in the best magazines in the world - Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone.
Fashion experts are sure that it was Peter who formed in the nineties the phenomenon of "supermodels". Before his shots, models were ordinary collaborators, and his look through the lens turned them into style icons.
In life, Peter was different - he spent the night on the streets, traveled hitchhiking in Europe, was addicted to drugs. He later admitted that it was this period of his life that made him revise a lot, feel like a different person.
Until the end of his days, Peter considered it his duty imagine beauty as it iswithout embellishment. He was a supporter of realism. But the first place was put not by external data, but by the spirituality and individuality of every woman who faced his lens.
