Lindbergh

women Lindbergh Middle name, which we will continue to dithyrambic tale about the photographers of this world - is Peter Lindbergh. He - the guru black and white photography, this is it - the person who made ​​the exist the phenomenon of "supermodels" in the 90s, he opened the world's Naomi, Linda, Cindy, Christy and other supermodels, it is the same "poet of glamor", as it calls the world of fashion, and he did ... shy? Peter Lindbergh in the world, and on the passport - Peter Brodbeck, who was born November 23, 1944 in Leszno, Poland, and grew up in Duisburg, Germany. He studied painting seriously until in 1971 (which is 27 years for a moment), it is not carried away the world of photography and two years later he became an advertising photographer. In 1978, the magazine «Stern Magazin» publishes his shots and at one point it brought him international fame. The demand for his work begins to grow every day, world-famous publications increasingly make orders at Lindbergh, and that's when he decided to move to Paris, by the way, about the same time with Paolo Roversi. Here in Paris, he began working with magazines Marie Claire, Vogue, Vanity Fair and others. Revolution named Lindbergh begins later. In the late 80's in the arena of world fashion-dominated journalism but trifles, magazine Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Lindberg at that time was on the side of the second. "Once we are faced with Alexander Liberman, editor of American Vogue, and he asked me," What's the problem, why do not you want to work for us? Do not you know who we are? ". I replied: "Yes, I know who you are. But I can not photograph the woman you represent. " "Well, - he told me. - Take whatever you want: I give you complete freedom of choice, you are free to invite whoever you want! Show us what do you think should be the girl Vogue ». I went back to him with pictures of girls in simple white shirts, which we shot in Los Angeles. Lieberman looked at the pictures and said, "What do you want me to do with these photos?". The same question I heard from the chief editor of Vogue, Grace Mirabella. And what did they do? Cut off the head and put pictures of girls between advertising stripes! So they missed the revolution: in these pictures have been some of the girls, who later called supermodels, but they did not see them. A few months later Grace Mirabella was fired, and in its place came Anna Wintour. Eight months later, Anna accidentally saw photos and called me with an offer I did not refuse: "I'll give you the cover, shot at 20 pages, and the freedom to do whatever you want." With the shooting went down in history, the era of supermodels. " - Peter Lindbergh. For the January cover of British Vogue in 1990 the legendary Peter Lindbergh makes the photograph, which captures five of his muses - Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitts in downtown New York City. Subsequently, it was she who inspired the director David Fincher to make a video of George Michael «Freedom 90." "In 1989, the chief editor of British Vogue Liz Tilberis invited me to take off the cover of the magazine with the words:" Try to imagine how will look like the 1990s. " I said, "I have an excellent idea." I decided to photograph the models without intricate hairstyles, make-up screaming - all the things that famous 1980s. In the same year, when this image was taken, George Michael took Naomi, Linda, Tatjana, Christy and Cindy in his clip. And in February 1991, all five of them have shone on the catwalk show Versace. Then they woke up supermodels and stars. " Reverent attitude Lindberg to the woman and her beauty - is what permeated his shots designed to perpetuate the natural beauty of the whole, not a wrinkle, he does not take away from their photographs. He photographed not fashion - women. Fashion noted that Peter has an amazing ability to make a woman feel that she is beautiful in its naturalness and sincerity before the camera lens. Lindbergh himself smiling, "I'm just trying to let a woman look a woman." About "their" supermodels photographer spoke as follows: "They are very clever. I could shout: "Girls, go to the frame!" Cindy and invariably it answered, "We are not the girls, we are women." They felt the force. " In 1992, Harper's Bazaar magazine makes an unprecedented move for the time - signed a contract with Peter Lindbergh on long-term cooperation. Over the next 5 years, most of the work of the photographer published in this journal. During the following years and to this day, Peter takes advertising campaigns for the most famous fashion designers in the world. Peter Lindbergh shoots on film, black-and-white film, and he shoots women: wrinkles, matted windblown hair, skin and covered with goosebumps laughter, fatigue, pain - all just now, infinitely perfect and eternal, eludes ephemeral glossy periodicals. Whether it's Christy Turlington barefoot on the beach in the early 90's or dancing Penelope Cruz in recent years. Peter Lindbergh goes to frayed denim shirt, glasses and wearing a pants pocket digital camera, a bar of soap. He did not like being correlated with the fashion world and says that in his photographs you do not find an archive of fashion trends, but are sure to find the names and faces. "My work is, in a sense - a declaration of love letter to the woman. In 1988, I was told "Create a woman!". This I have since, and doing ". by Anya. Duty on photos. Peter.
