  • THIS VIDEO: In the late1980s, Peter Lindbergh dared to do what few fashion photographers had done before: he portrayed models as real people. He’s famous for being the photographer most closely associated with the emergence of the supermodel phenomenon in the 80s. His fashion and portrait shoots looked more like chance, moments from a reportage feature. Lindbergh was one of the first photographers to include a narrative in his fashion photos. His storytelling brought a new way of mixing fashion photography and art,

    I had the pleasure of visiting his selfcurated exhibition in Düsseldorf. Unfortunately, Lindberg did not see the opening of the exhibition himself. For me, this exhibition is still the most impressive one I have ever visited. Despite all his internationality and cosmopolitanism, I believe I can feel the breath of his and my homeland in many of his pictures.

    I saw the Untold Stories exhibition in Brussels. It was magnificient. The prints where huge and truly something else. They put them behind very reflective glass on purpose so that the viewer would constantly see themself in the picture. It was a very interesting experience and a bold move. I'm really not much into fashion photography, but I agree with you, Graeme, you really don't have to be to appreciate Lindbergh's work!

    I am passionate about so many kinds of photography, but fashion isn't one of them. I find the six white white shirts models photo utterly contrived and wooden....someone calling it "the most important image of the decade" must live in a very small world. Enjoyed your presentation!

      As a whole I do like Lindbergh's photography. As for that photo being the most important of the decade, that's the world of fashion doing the self aggrandizement that it's always done.
      The same is done with celebrity portraits. The fame of the person gets made to be what's great about the photo, and the access to the person gets made to be the greatness of the photographer.
      If you take a crude snapshot of a famous person, the photo will get described as an artistic stripping away of the façade of fame that few get to see, when it's really taken in a way that's no different than snapshots at any 6 year old's birthday party.

      Hi Gregory I agree about the best photo comment - maybe she should have said 'most influencial in the fashion world'...or similar.

    Thanks for covering Lindbergh. Studying him taught me the relationship between the model and the photographer and how that relationship is the end result of the photograph. I too, found myself 'falling in love' with my models. It created great memories and great photographs for me and I thank him for sharing his philosophies. Thanks again Graeme!

    Good to know something about this photographer. There is something to learn from him. Thanks Graeme

    That level takes a lot of talent and passion for the art. A rapport with his subject on another level. Good video.

    A friend of mine, Canadian Ukrainian photographer Lesia Maruschak knew Peter Lindbergh. He definitely redefined the craft of commercial / model photography.

    Lindbergh - the taking of realism, expressionism and film noir, transposing it into style over substance.
    I really should like it, I can appreciate the individual shots but as a whole I just can't find it in my heart to do so. Its perhaps that absolute intent writ large of trying to create a still image using documentary tropes with unrealistic models. It always leaves me feeling that it doesn't subvert the genre it just sullied it with shallow commercialism.
    He may have made a shed full of money but it feels like a wealthy art college student's effort at being set a term project ... 'combine two contrasting styles of photography'.
    Great video - it really made me think why I have such a visceral dislike of his work.

      Ridiculous, he was an inspired and talented artist, you've missed the plot.

      @@BabarKhan-oh6zq I don't deny he was talented. I don't deny that he had his own interpretation and was personally driven; but could I put it at the level of Art, certainly not.
      It comes across as being shallow and simply a construct. It could be argued that all photography/art is a construct (portrait, Cindy Sherman). I fully accept that I don't subjectively appreciate it simply because the aim isn't to tell a story (documentary, Dorothea Lange) or evince a true emotion (expressionism, Todd Hido). Art is about intent ... Lindbergh is ultimately just using photographic genres to sell something ... a product or a 'personality'.
      I hope that rationalizes why I simply don't see it as 'art' in its broadest sense. He took stylized photo's to sell stuff. Cecil Beaton did the same, but his years as a war photographer showed his all round ability. Perhaps Lindbergh just never got the chance to do anything useful.

    The shoot at 5:21, I feel like I've seen that before. I don't know if it was in a magazine or in a dream. I like Lindbergh's style and I enjoyed the video about it!

    Seems an appropriate day to show the power of a photograph to capture a moment and possibly shape the future. For better or worse.
