In 1987, in Paris, Charlotte Rampling, in her forties, wife at that time of Jean Michel Jarre, former model and confirmed British actress, posed without any complex under the lens of Peter Lindbergh who produced a hymn to women, to piercing gaze, with a mouth tense with determination and arms displaying his entire collection of bracelets concealing his chest, a strong image that testifies to the deep respect he has always had for his models, in the space of an instant she bends to the format, sensual, symbolizing the aesthetics of the new woman. With his talent as a director, he alternates sequenced close-ups as well as subjective shots. The most important quality in his images is above all his frankness, his almost shocking honesty, his subjects seem to open up emotionally in front of his lens. âIt's not the appearance that counts, but the spirit of the person you are photographing. »Peter Lindbergh For him a perfect female body contains a mystery, he exalts it as an object of desire for man, through images or emanates a force of seduction. This body language which founds the complex system which underlies the relationship between the photographer and the subject, through a set of complicit signs and a deep fidelity towards each other, can give rise to a form of poetry at the moment when photography is realized. He installs a language founding the complex system that underlies the relationship between him and his subject, through a set of complicit signs and a deep fidelity to each other, can be born a form of poetry to the moment the photograph is taken. âCreation is the birth of something. A thing cannot come from nothing. When you create a painting, a poem, a photograph, creativity comes from an idea, a feeling, an emotion, or a combination of ideas, feelings and emotions that are reborn, in some way so, through our experiences and our ambitions. »Peter Lindbergh Surprising is the effect he transposes into his images, he shows a fashion object without succumbing to the document, it is the charm and grace that operate, giving his model the impression of being suspended above of everything, he opposes power and lightness, a constant that often comes up in his work. He has a vision or he suggests, or he weaves with extraordinary creativity photographs that are totally new in their conception. His images defy the laws of gravity of this world, they seem to redefine a new world that does not exist. A special light and a composition are not enough, Lindbergh wants to feel the soul of the subject he photographs, to give the impression of being close to them. He insists that his models be natural, lightly made up and styled in a simple way, in order to be able to bring all their personal mystery to the lens. His work has an aspect of science fiction, is a total utopia, transforming these goddesses into human beings without ever depriving them of their aura. His style is deeply marked by the contrasting images of his childhood spent in the Ruhr region. Industrial landscapes, dark places, disused factories and metal structures are often found in his photographs. Influenced by the photographer August Sander, the Metropolis of Fritz Lang, Germany and its expressionist cinema, omnipresent traces in his shots, moments of emotion forever immortalized. He has little taste for retouching, thus refusing to erase the singularities that make up a personality to leave room for a raw and strong image. Loving to work with women with a strong identity, he lets them express themselves freely in front of the camera. His photographs will considerably upset the fashion world, definitively changing the look of an industry that is only defined through a facade of perfection. The models are immersed in a banal setting, in the middle of busy streets like snapshots of life, moments of rare emotions engraved on film. But above all, the work of Peter Lindbergh works like that of a true historian, showing us the evolution of women in fashion. Luscious and radiant, the woman becomes more androgynous and hungry over the years. He photographs women as they are with their flaws, he knows how to sublimate them like no other, he is a fashion photographer who does not photograph fashion. His photographs do not convey the image of a garment or an ultra-sophisticated and artificial woman, but it is the Woman he seeks to capture, firmly rooted in his time, with his sensitivity and his universe. These are by no means photographs of classic fashions, but testimonies, an idea of ââthe femininity of the times. As a total visionary, the artist apprehends with his expert eye the most beautiful women in the world from the end of the 80s, Naomi Campbell, StĂ©phanie Seymour, Linda Evangelista, Kristen Owen, Berri Smither, Cindy Crawford, Kristen McMenamy and Kate Moss. They are for him, rough diamonds, and knows how to capture their essence in all benevolence, long before they become the muses of the greatest couturiers. He presents them without makeup or sophistication, dressed in simple white shirts on the beaches of Santa Monica, favoring black and white to distance himself from real life to favor his image. If we retouch too much, we erase life. It's not photography anymore, it's plastic surgery. »Peter Lindbergh We photographers are here to free them from the dictatorship of perfection and youth. »Peter Lindbergh Peter Lindbergh (1944-2019) German photographer and director, born Peter Brodbeck in Leszno, Poland.

He is at the origin of several important innovations in the world of fashion photography. Towards the end of his career, he alternated his life between New York, Paris and Arles. This is a print that the printer had archived as a reference model and laminated on a support in order to be able to preserve it over time. A wonderful testimony to traditional fine art printing which unfortunately has completely disappeared today. Magnificent print, close to a photograph, with a beautiful shine, luminous, with very dense tones. Its contrasting rendering, as well as its definition with sharp details, are absolutely remarkable. I like to recognize myself in the photos I take. That was the most important thing for me, to always be able to find my identity in my images. »Peter Lindbergh Sale as is, no return. please see my sales list thanks a lot to the following photographers Edward Weston Daido Moriyama Araki Josef Koudelka Saul Leiter Ray K Metzker Paolo Roversi Helmut Newton, Henri Cartier-Bresson Ernst Haas Harry Gruyaert Annie Leibovitz Peter Lindbergh Guy Bourdin Richard Avedon Herb Ritts, Ellen Von Unwerth Comme des Garçons Rei Kawakubo Irving Penn, Bruce Weber, Edward Steichen, George Hoyningen-Huene, Hiro, Erwin Blumenfeld Bruce Weber, Alex Webb Robert Frank Issey Miyake Robert Doisneau Steve Hiett Gueorgui Pinkhassov Andy Warhol Yayoi Kusama Magnum photos Harry Callahan Andre Kertesz Elliott Erwitt Bruce Davidson Guy Bourdin Steven Meisel, Martin Munkacsi Mario Giacomelli Bruce Gilden Sebastiao Salgado Sarah Moon
