![]() ![]() In 1988, Anna Wintour arrived at American Vogue and hired Lindbergh to capture the image for her first cover. ![]() His meteoric rise to international fame came at the heels of his debut working for Italian, British, French, German and and American Vogue. Lindbergh’s interest in shooting in black and white comes from his belief that the monochromatic palette “brings out the personality more.” He has said that color photographs can often look like advertisements. Afterwards, Lindbergh launched his own studio. In 1972, by chance, he became an assistant for Düsseldorf-based photographer Hans Lux. He subsequently hitchhiked to France, Spain, and Morocco.Īfter his two-year journey, Lindbergh returned to Germany to study painting in Krefeld. After working as a window dresser for the Karstadt and Horten department store in the city, he moved to Lucerne, Switzerland, then on to Berlin to take courses at the Academy of Arts. Lindbergh was born in Lissa, Germany and spent his childhood in Duisburg. The new book, a compilation of 161 images, which was released in January this year, is a sequel to his first book, Images of Women (1997). Actress Uma Thurman will host a book party for the US release of German photographer Peter Lindbergh‘s Images of Women II: 2005-2014 (Schirmer/Mosel) at the Gagosian Shop this week. ![]()
