Fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh is renowned for his artfully composed narrative photos, as well as for his films and TV commercials. He started his career as a painter before taking up photography in 1971. When Lindbergh moved to Paris in 1978, he began working for Vogue, eventually leading to assignments for The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone and Harper's Bazaar, among others. For these publications, he shoots portraits of celebrities and supermodels and has also contributed to lavish advertising campaigns for top fashion houses such as Giorgio Armani, Donna Karan and Comme des Garçons. Although Lindbergh works in both color and black and white, the latter has his preferred medium. The real world is in color, so when you use black and white, you take it out of the real world, out of the banal," he once said.
