in the way does that. mean that maybe. they could always recognize when it is being emitted no one else. seems to be in there can always spot the pater limburg signature even in color photos of his neck but this. is one of the most influential and in demand photographers in the fashion world he's been named best photographer in the industry several times the makers of luxury goods use his pictures to sell glamour . everyone wants peter lin back he's become famous

through his black and white portrait. model still lined up to work with them even if he is the other side of 70 i don't know his secret but i would guess that it does have something to do with standing. fiercely. then in often to sedate. his photos give me the feeling of having core to certain brief moments of a moment in between film seems perhaps moments and they lend his stories a poetic quality or of an immigrant's he can uncover the core everybody feels an emotional connection isn't countries and can filing. positions of spirit that's a unique talent yes. i don't know any other photographer who's capable of that kind

of office and a focus. there is a storyteller his method is more like a film director except what he's after is that half a 2nd containing all the emotion and mystery that you need for a movie. theater larry. when there are models for high profile actresses like nicole kidman clint back always incorporate his protagonist into the working process a man who understands women and admires them. from the most new drugs women know women are generally gutsier than men men tend to be show us and cowards. and why shouldn't be so nasty about us. women are observed more. and i have

a lot of metal. beside him. good to see the voters. and they're also more responsible and a lot more open and willing to take risks. when the men just stand there with a cigar in their look. so it's ridiculous photo of churchill must have been incredibly boring to look them. in that cigar regardless of what you do or as women take risks and when they see they can trust you to give you a lot in return. and a fair number of models have benefited from the bags help over the years among the new generation is fine in they said from denmark her name surfaced at major international fashion houses to lynn backs photos of her she's become one of his

favorite models to work with a natural part of lindbergh's work is creating a closeness to the women he photographs. feel. a lot of people say you have such a close relationship with the models do you fall in love with them and i say of course i do. but you have a family sure. i'm in love from 9 to 5. and i go home and i'm glad to be there. although for the. industry circles pay tellin back is considered the inventor of the supermodels he recalls the dawn of that era in the studio loft in paris. just. 3 orders for the couple covered my 1st ever perelli calender.

then there is linda. the possibilty pasco. oh no you know me. well you know that was january 92 for british vogue. and this is the birth certificate of the supermodel just if you could this is if you can't. it's not so the moment. it was the moment when fashion photography became a kind of high society phenomenon. and she could tell. they would keep the models on after a fashion show put them in different clothes and have them turn up and particles they were like high society lady as. her. back had turned human clothes horses into self-confident women with their own personalities stars in their own right the more conservative among the industry's

editors found it hard to come to terms with this new angle on portraying women as it sucks you can see here the shock over how these women could have become supermodels or they were suddenly this is the photo or they said we can't use this or for that. by the early 1990 s. lind back was already one of the leading lights in his trade with the influence to go with it selling fashion meant selling faces conveniently for that's what he was interested in the clothes she went on to foster the development of various budding supermodels most notably linda. that was the 1st photographer in the fashion world to start blurring the boundaries

between the genders another revolutionary. evangelist his career skyrocketed after she followed back suggestion that she cut her hair short. thanks to she would become world famous. yeah this is it those are millions are the years from left to right. this it's this it's here now up here. this lets you out now you get your haircut and it goes like this. a year or 2 from now there appear to me that will fade out with short hair and. get worse it brought me to completely. different laughs.

we accompany linpack on issued in the truly garden in paris lyn back has thought up a story centering on a romantically involved female couple with their dogs what he and the crew overlooked when preparing for the shoot is that dogs are in fact banned from the famous park in the us and sandy's. you know what you told me the pressure is on for the crew because the dogs are the least as important for a little backstory as the models. you do us a man. the photographer takes matters into his own hands and uses his charm to win over the park guard. we're going to do going to be fast because we do something on little food army go full steam the job is back on except just as the team are ready to start shooting there's another take up. ok so you have to get in 53.

ready shoot. gold for all we. push through the north because of what you have to. not just know she was the better to become here to shoot a question for the models are just wearing hotel slippers the shoes are in and tegel part of the shoot. you should have known you know if you know of the good of the good they're not. good if you serve a duck duck. go to the concert and have a really wasn't because they were looking for the profits for the book because it's not put out a little and finally the shoes turn up and they can begin to get a little bit sick leave the frame by frame the little love story takes shape told by lindbergh even. style of a photo novella on the bus so you. just go to 114. point 05 good boy. starts off with her waiting at the cafe for her girlfriends.

or. so this is the gun supposed to fully be brought to me while her girlfriend buy some flowers which she then brings along to the date. we see her on her way. to the far put a good lot of. oh. and then this is for example that is nicer in color than in black and white because the only red is neurosis with everything else black. and then they meet. i'm still not sure what shots it's only been a day for a meet in this place things take their course because when you know what kind of a real relationship they have. that's interesting you would soon.

bag is very much a team player and is keen to integrate the models and the entire crew into his ideas. and what's known as is black and white gets under your skin. this is only my opinion because there are so many great photographers who do fantastic portraits in color. they haven't confirmed for me it feels like black and white caps under the skin color just to use on the surface that's my impression of you know. the real the real real it's not going to the glove or not it's the real beauty because the review would be normally not nobody really proved that for real review to make up poor. to. know coming it's critical.

to make up he's actually an anti makeup photographer and makeup of the he does have them put on makeup in the morning but then take it off again. i think women feel comfortable around him as much you have sometimes when i see him he has this workman like feel. the skipper's undoes on there's this photo by august of a blacksmith and i thought what lindbergh was doing in paris was like a blacksmith showing the most elegant race horses. we did in the country he makes the horses faster of a and they are aware of that. there's a big dance element in there but in a subtle way with us as yet they all have a dancer's posture of playing. into

something he extracts from the women. there's a bit of a circus family atmosphere at shoots. as it was you can tell they always have a good time with of lunch for the horses were not with him the woodside. he's a target in hollywood managed to make so many decent models out of so many hollywood a listers that they're performing in the clothes. he invented that he's on. it's all a world away from the one he leaned back hails from he grew up in germany's industrial heartland of the a valley between the chimney stacks of. straw and this 4th book cost of the i was an apprentice window dresser at a big department store we had no books or hard to our home it is just one little encyclopedia on the table not even on

a table it had these little photos of africa through that was my cultural upbringing. just before and downtown despard we would see these window decorations sets that were setting the trend. the one who's here americans had skin tight pants on and quite small. today modeling agencies might give young people disagreeing about the big wide world but this was the most exciting thing i'd ever seen oaf with was the good thing with them oh they don't know that i left school really early so at the age of 14 my mother wanted me to get a solid job like a tile layer and i wanted to be a window dresser because that was an artistic job so for the good of him my father said the boys going to do what he wants they're your must put the most of it.

at the age of 18 lives back and then still known as peter boyd back hitchhiked to the south of france to follow in the footsteps of his idol painter vincent pham go . to the office thoughts about if i had any dortch marks man had no plans to return to germany with them that's when i got some work there but after a week i had to leave. i was staying because i was low on money i thought the article focuses on the symbol of. those fictions or dirty most water or water around knocking on farmers doors asking if i could stay in the barn was my sleeping bag. and in return i do a mornings or an afternoon's work on the for not beatles obert or. it was a lifestyle he loved the world was his oyster. a chance to. meet

. my friends began to get the nerve of sorts with it was an order. for them i was always scurrying around from here to there doing different things they said don't you want to start doing something for. one of them had a friend called hans looks who needed an assistant to be in the council he was a proper advertising photographer a great man who let me do a lot of it although i couldn't do anything. or few mommies over the phone to i soon realized photography was a fantastic means of expressing yourself towards moved to the source. for the style he developed back then movement was pivotal from the outset he took pictures spontaneously according to his feelings he didn't use

a tripod instead dancing with his subjects it was also where he began looking for that one all encompassing moment struck. to mean. he drew inspiration from the silent movies of the german expressionist era for example flits lungs metropolis with its industrial theme and machines that reminded him of his childhood induced book. i was decent through group computer has a knack for capturing highlights in a movement but that's mostly impossible in the fashion world because it just keeps

babbling on it's like a stream of law of heat and light that just keeps going on. in fashion there is no standing still photography suggests a kind of stand still nor the magazines try to do that every 2 weeks or every month take a snapshot of the moment but there's no taking a break in fashion. and peter lynn bag is permanently on the road himself a nonstop globetrotter today in the desert of southern california or somewhere in the pacific tomorrow in beijing although as always it's the people in those foreign lands that he's interested in he became the 1st western photographer to have a major exhibition in china it's part of his long term project the unknown.

the photographer himself explores unknown territory. i think. shocking unexpected. day. plan castles ani is a curator and longtime collaborator of land back they have a working relationship going back 20 years and it's not just individuals len bag remains loyal to paris is one of the locations that has lost none of its attraction for him wendy. it all start the show but it had a feeling that when the fashion editor at sharon magazine saw the photos in a lifestyle magazine she called me up and said who are you come up to hamburg and work for us we'll give you 14 pages to do whatever you want. it does have that okamoto so i did and it turned out very nicely pretty spectacular.

there's even an art director at marie claire in france that series and he called me up and duesseldorf to say they'd like to work with me on that was even going to be the of but. i didn't know how all of this because at some point i was writing this lovely house which had just been the fit it was carpets and all this awful stuff. by the fog and called me and my wife at the time astor and we had 3 children together in paris. we looked at each other and i said do you really want to stay in dusseldorf. she said no. and all those different books so we packed up and left all or things there and moved to paris was nothing like what you know of them the most it's all about. peter and that's how peter brought a big green vent to themself as peter lindbergh and the 1st thing he did was send

photos around of a model sitting in front of a newspaper model disaster site one of them had the headline from charles lindbergh's atlantic crossing the specially reprinted in the massive letters will live kids paris. paris in an earlier more innocent era the sons i'm a neighborhood became his front room and his photo studio watching and photographing people have become his favorite occupations. some say paris has had the soul photographed out of it but not lend back he says the city has lost none of the poetic magnetism it had 40 years ago. the last of the last.

to the. last fashions and models come and go sans amended play refuses to age and it seems neither does the photographer. he lives in says a man with his family it's his haven when he takes a break from his globe trotting. or secure a lot because it's pretty close to my work in the middle of. bax german has gotten a little rusty so he's posted a reminder on the door to speak more in his mother tongue. this leads out into another courtyard and then out to the front so i was really the entrance you can take photos out this window that's where you get your views are parrots.

and. i started spending more time in new york sold that became home. in los angeles of course and go for them so it's a kind of triangle together with paris one of the more that i alternate between them at least twice a month it's like having a kind of extended city. he finds terms like world citizen or cosmopolitan pretentious ultimately he feels at home wherever he's taking pictures. and if you could any of those. i don't feel like a new yorker and definitely not french i didn't mean that in

a disparaging way. but i don't feel french. through the. air perhaps more american if anything but not really and you always do feel like the kid from dual sport and i don't think that's ever going to change . lives back has his own library of art related books a dozen alone by art historian van ashby. the. picasa school tauren bach sounds from material to so she'll mark sounds collage. collage into continent picasso or how can one man write so much of his love. that vast archive serves as an inspiration for lynn backs work. does he miss all of this when he's away. no. that's always

a nice side to welcome me back. with those are 2 different things. another of its idols is unto me now to playwrights director and king of the café scene in 1920 s. m. 30 songs on man he once said to have a sense of the profound unity of things is to have a sense of anarchy and of the effort that needs to be made in order to reduce things by drawing them back toward unity a credo that could also come from peter lynn bear unity and the big picture that he thrives on. the future. for. a new news. of going to go through the the good over the other the good of the. good those

who the bomb. will. go if they give the order for. a working day for lent back typically lasts 15 hours his energy seems inexhaustible he uses every last 2nd of the day sunlight while encouraging his team to hold on with him on. want to claim. the mantle and when the day is finally over if he's tired he certainly doesn't show it. to all go in for it's just well guarded. i think i've seen him just lay symptoms of what you could call the napoleonic sickness. it's a state of mind he can take a 3 minute nap in a taxi and then he's 100 percent refresh to get it. to.

the room and after a day without a break he sometimes then works through the night. of the poachers i work a lot of night. own other thoughts and when you're alone at night you might have 6 or 7 hours to yourself. the cook for all these things start buzzing around in your mind and i need that voted to footsies or during the week i usually go to bed about 4. and something urgent comes up then i know i can't overdo it and it's very hard for me on food for me i need about 3 hours sleep at a minimum. i think close to this is the most often with.

the nights in which he develops his visions and ideas are also closely linked to the mood that is repeatedly manifest in his pictures on the darker side more melancholic than happy he finds laughter monday. lots of by laughter has 0 value for me in portraits or other photographs of photos of ted there is so much to see and faces that are not laughing because if you jump into the. initial often over the last someone's lapham that's all you see and that ruins the rest of the. indy. oh those what it was and photographing people laughing has no appeal for me fine if they laugh but for a portrait i need all those manifold beautiful layers with which are all obscured

by that thing that people call laughter. in the home and. getting. to know her. team. has been said i'm good so from an open feel a strong attraction to melancholy i also find it very attractive in people was the worst thing i can imagine would be being married to a woman who gets up half an hour before i do and says fuck hello darling would you like a cup of coffee or maybe something else. i could tell myself this if it's silly about this it's a lot nicer to have someone who's grumpy and moaning about how dreadful the days when used with

a little i normally have the opposite of that which is great though nobody evil to keep to yourself once this one physician is. but barack is himself a star and stars often find themselves in the spotlight here he attends a panel of vent where he'll be sharing a stage with filmmaker ben then does hosted by fellow photographer jim lucky to. pin that might be reluctant to admit it but he enjoys the attention and is very much aware of how his market value works for a large scale and bad photo costs around $75000.00 euros. for the book. as a. lens that shares a long friendship with ben does and with jim was a key to

a passion for perfection and portrait photography it's a capacity crowd much to the satisfaction of lent back. because from i've watched pater at work a few times and it's a massive operation with all the equipment and trucks and people. so but peter makes you forget all that so you take your actors and models away from it all and suddenly you're sitting in a different corner where there is no lights and you're taking pictures of what you really wanted to take. his method. people always say what a great photo that's him or that's her but that's nonsense there is no one photo by somebody. there's a thing that i learned over the years that other people had written about. they

already knew it but not me. what you see on a negative or a screen these days is not the person you are taking a photo of or the architecture of the person or their physiognomy. me. in fact it's the feelings of the 2 people who were present to create the photo. and that's precisely what he searching for in the most disparate atmospheres. of the world is full of apartment blocks the atmosphere is not tense. that's more than that's the backdrop for casey. isn't the one who used to be on the olympic team in french i don't know if she is french. working on the cover today

she works as a male model for 40 over to the north near the border but for. the gold in the district of paris half deserted and with an eerie feel about it for peter lind there the concrete jungle provides an ideal motif for telling stories wrapped in mystery. in the hours it would go. to bring you. the course through the over that we're going through again with that blurring of gender boundaries that he find so fascinating and that made him famous 25 years ago. the best clothes are those good well i grew up with peter's photographs and. even though.

i didn't know that they were his and wasn't particularly focused on fashion. his photographs were so poetic that when i saw them my member and. what i remembered about. him was that the women were looking directly into the camera and they looked. solid. and so when i was asked to do this project with peter. i said if there are thought to myself there's anyone who. knows how. to hold and celebrate the fact that femininity is not exclusive strength. or in femininity years not exclusive or masculinity even i knew that. i knew that peter was going to be able to. to

do that meeting up close move. back makes his selection while still on the cation already knowing how he wants to tell the story 14 hours later the final photo for today. there is where. there is a. lot of. earth for them. but if you throw a full hog all through the books this regard. his

authenticity opens up a place within people they didn't even know they had the. so what's the secret to this wizard of photography his sincerity and interest in individuals and their feelings does he love his subjects. yes of it before wolf it's a few people criticize me for loving them all as if that depreciates it the the mother is according to the conventional perspective loving everybody means love is meaningless nonsense. that's where the testament project comes in line looking at the people involved with the it's very intense and profound and

then you discover altogether different things that we're going to move the home. testament possibly his most important project to date it comprises portraits of people on death row in the us each looking into a mirror for 40 minutes in front of a film camera that they cannot see murderers and child abusers all on their own. just calling it testament made sense. for it's about people who are going to disappear it's just a fun or the idea is having an un doctored picture of somebody to go. on the film does not tell you what they have done. because you have to find out for yourself. plus the man is looking at himself for 40 minutes. or does this all. came close to aborting the project because i noticed how hard it was for them but

once it was over they were happy to. see it's pretty moving to watch. so you can try it yourself on the stand in front of a mirror and such your alarm clock for 20 minutes and don't look anywhere else until it rings. the pharmacy. think on the phone for everything you've lost or won or imagined it all passes through your mind. you see everything it's crazy it's in your face that's the interesting part is into something. in paris she applies the same passion when photographing the pet dog of louis with tongs menswear designer for dog lovers magazine a small favor for an important customer.

and otherwise it's a rat race there on they so many days in the year. and all that work for major clients heats up your free time. and less and less leave. so our books tend to always get in the way. it was a. this shoot is for a japanese client in asia to pay tellin bank is a superstar in the photography seem. to. manage to shop for a thing of 12 people came from tokyo for 2 photos of a girl. it's one cropped hair the other years. well. i feel like that was.

good for was it up every time they see a photo they say wonderful. over and over and over to the stuff but that doesn't mean anything. you have to know yourself whether the picture is wonderful ok although you could show this and say wonderful this is on the up of a look at the most beautiful. a little. bit of a. good luck if you can trace every step an element back to yourself and judge the result i don't need to listen to anybody else except when you want to listen to somebody else and then you know right where you are and then everyone can say you're wonderful you're the best but you know very definitely that it's not true for if you don't have any roots you believe in anything.

as long as there are people he can love and to love him he'll keep on taking photos . of what he's an absolutely exceptional photographer and nobody else could amalgamate so many elements on the one hand he develops this amazing feeling with such a proximity to his subjects. when the office the food and because. of something that is as high cost place and it's remarkable how he surfs contemporary currents as a self his inside story isn't one for us to look at their motives they buy try to explain to people when they ask if i want to stop well that's the most beautiful moment where you can access everything and have the most complicated thing spinning through the air on your little finger cleanfeed of the book but. it's then that you can finally use everything you've learned and thus no reason to stop.
