Īs a teenager, he worked as window dresser for the Karstadt and Horten department stores in Duisburg. Lindbergh was born on 23 November 1944 in Lissa (Leszno), Reichsgau Wartheland, German-occupied Poland. Lindbergh preferred black & white photography, and noted in 2014: "This should be the responsibility of photographers today to free women, and finally everyone, from the terror of youth and perfection."
His work has been presented at international exhibitions. He photographed the Pirelli Calendar three times (1996, 2002, 2017), made several films, and created covers for music including Tina Turner's Foreign Affair, Sheryl Crow's The Globe Sessions and Beyoncé's I Am. In fashion photography, he portrayed models Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington together for the January 1990 British Vogue cover, beginning an era of supermodels. In 1971, he turned to photography and worked for the Stern magazine. He had studied arts in Berlin and Krefeld, and exhibited his works before graduation.
Shadows on the Wall.Peter Lindbergh (born Peter Brodbeck 23 November 1944 – 3 September 2019) was a German fashion photographer and film director. “ There is this devastating religion where absolute perfection and youth have become the most important criteria to define women,” he says regretfully. Peter Lindbergh values the power of the image and the vigour of the silhouettes as opposed to an artificial beauty retouched in post-production. “ My perception of poetry is related to frankness, and once again with being authentic and personal, starting with the unique individual that you are,” he explained. Through individual black and white shots, Lindbergh evokes the intimate and authentic beauty he is known for in a new book “Shadows on the Wall”.
From Nicole Kidman to Uma Thurman and Julianne Moore, 14 actresses posed in front of the German photographer who illustrated the Pirelli calendar for the third time, having previously done it in 19. For the 2016/17 Pirelli calendar, Peter Lindbergh followed in the footsteps of portraitist Annie Leibovitz.
