Peter Lindbergh<\/strong> sadly left us back in 2019, but his huge legacy lives on – and frankly it’s so stimulating to look at his work. It’s not simply the case that he managed to attract some really very attractive women infront of his lens, but more the beauty and sincerity of his images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently received his book \u00ab\u00a0Shadows on the Wall<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb which came out in 2017. This book is made up of images (some of over 37,000 it seems<\/em>) taken during shooting for the 2017 Pirelli Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image shows the sheer size of the book !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The women photographed are not models in the traditional sense, and they’re not treated as such – no make-up (or at least, very limited make-up) and the images – these are actresses for the most part, people we’re used to seeing with make-up, and hair prepared, wearing beautiful clothes…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The individual comments from each person photographed show the warmth and appreciation of Peters approach to image creation – with the most common reflection that he is never stressed, talks little, and just lets the person a huge freedom, both of movement and expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shows in the images – some obviously ‘stronger’ than others, but all beautiful, textured with terrific warmth – faithful to his wish that he prefers black and white photography to colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter makes the point (in an video about this shoot on YouTube) that he doesn’t use PhotoShop or any other image treatment on a computer – what you see is what you get, in the sense that we see in this book exactly what he saw looking through the eyepiece of his camera – faults and all! Frankly I can find little fault with anything I’ve seen here…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the moment of writing, the publisher TASCHEN is offering this work (of art, really) at 49\u20ac post free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
