He actively involves the models in the process. Peter Lindbergh is the first fashion photographer whose work is as much about the models, as about the fashion they wear, you could actually say that his work is even more about the models than the fashion. This assignment led to work for the French edition of Marie-Claire magazine and later for Vogue. His career started to take off when he did an assignment for the German magazine “Stern”. In 1973 he decided to change his name from Peter Brodbeck to Peter Lindbergh because there was another photographer with the name Peter Brodbeck in the city where he lived. Peter grew up in Duisburg, a city in the industrial “Ruhr” area. His parents fled to Germany at the end of WWII. Peter Lindbergh was born in Poland in 1944. From Rotterdam it will travel further on to other well known museums across the globe. This great show is the first major retrospective of his work. A couple of weeks ago I visited the show “A Different Vision on Fashion Photography”of photographer Peter Lindbergh in museum “de Kunsthal” in Rotterdam (Holland).
