He saw the world differently: fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh died
The man who created the magical images of super-models has passed away. He was 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 a link to the photographer's page on the social network. The cause of Peter's death has not been reported.
He was the favorite photographer of Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and Natalia Vodianova. And all because no one, like him, knew how to see female images so surprisingly and outside the box.
Fashion designers such as Karl Lagerfeld and Giorgio Armani considered it a great honor to invite Peter to work on the project.
Peter was born in Poland in 1944 and raised in the Federal Republic of Germany. From childhood I was drawn to the beautiful - loved drawing lessons and attended art school. Love for photography awoke 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 left him no choice - he was drawn into the fashion world. He directed Nastassja Kinski and Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour, Tatiana Sorokko and Isabella Rossellini. One of his most successful sessions was working with a Russian woman 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 believe that it was Peter who formed in the nineties supermodel phenomenon... Before his photographs, models were ordinary employees, and his look through the lens turned them into style icons.
There were different things in Peter's life - he spent the night on the streets, traveled as an emergency stop in Europe, was addicted to drugs. Later he admitted that it was this period of his life that made him reconsider a lot, feel like a different person.
Until the end of his days, Peter considered it his duty imagine beauty as it is, without embellishment. He was a supporter of realism. But in the first place he put not external data, but the spirituality and individuality of every woman who faced his lens.
