The exhibition Peter Lindbergh: A Different Vision of Fashion Photography

I think I saw his photography for the first time in Vogue Italy (I was in love at that time with Italian magazines). It was black and white and it has a handful of models in it. The models of that time: Eva Herzigova, Nadja Auermann, Cindy Crawford, Tatjana Patitz, Karen Alexander & Helena Christensen. And I was amazed by the power of a black and white image, by the lights. I have encounter his work since then, along the years and magazines, and I understood that Lindbergh’s pure black-and-white photographs have determined the course of fashion photography since the 1980s. My favourite? Kate Moss, in Vogue Italy, that is for sure.

 “A Different Vision on Fashion Photography” – from 10 of September 2016 to 12 of February 2017, www.kunsthal.nl
Eva Herzigova, Nadja Auermann, Cindy Crawford, Tatjana Patitz, Karen Alexander & Helena Christensen – are between the faces.
