Born in 1944 in Lissa, Peter Lindbergh became one of the defining fashion photographers of the late twentieth century. His signature black-and-white imagery emphasised authenticity, emotion and individuality over glamour and retouching. Lindbergh’s portraits, often shot in natural light, reveal vulnerability and strength in equal measure — qualities that helped humanise the fashion industry. His 1990 British Vogue cover featuring the “supermodels” heralded a new era in fashion photography, prioritising character over perfection.
