Peter Lindbergh

Portraits of Women

If you’ve ever doubted that the work of the greatest photographers transcends genre, one look at this evocative book of black and white photos by Peter Lindbergh will change your mind. The German-born Lindbergh is considered a fashion photographer, and almost every work in this large-format exhibition catalog was shot for a fashion magazine. Yet Lindberg often finds a gentle surrealism reminiscent of Fellini; his landscapes echo with the footsteps of people unseen. Says Lindberg, “Only if a person’s soul appears in the photo do I as the photographer feel I have achieved what I wanted.” With an outstanding essay by Klaus Honnef.
