But how does his work differ from that of, say, Richard Avedon and Irving Penn? I may be missing something, but I don't think of his work as different. Whereas Steven Meisel and Nick Knight work in colour, Peter Lindbergh works mainly in black and white.
The photos that I liked best were the choreographed group shots, which show that Lindbergh has an excellent eye for visual composition.Īnd yet, even after browsing the catalogue I find it hard to say what Lindbergh's different vision on fashion photography consists in. Even though I regularly look through some fashion magazines there were many photos on show that were new to me, such as Lindbergh's dance photos. I enjoyed the exhibition, so much so that I even bought the catalogue. A Different Vision On Fashion Photography" currently at the Kunsthal in Rotterdam (until 12 February 2017) offers an extensive survey of Peter Lindbergh's work and career.
Indeed, some of these models have become icons in part because of the work of Peter Lindbergh (and Steven Meisel).
Some of his photos of 90s supermodels, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell have become icons. If you have opened a fashion magazine in the past twenty or thirty years you will be familiar with the work of Peter Lindbergh.
