Peter Lindbergh’s iconic pictures now at Fotografiska, Stockholm. Lightness of Being consists of more than one hundred works by the man who is known to have redefined fashion photography.
Lindberg preferred B&W to bring out the best of his models.
Lindbergh wrote the following:
”If photographers are responsible for creating or reflecting an image of women in society…then, I must say, there is only one way for the future, and this is to define women as strong and independent. This should be the responsibility of photographers today: to free women, and finally everyone, from the terror of youth and perfection.”
He must have had a favourite model…I guess it could be

Wonderful
Very striking images
Indeed.
Dear Ann-Christine,
we admire his photos. Quite often we scroll through a big book of his photos from our library.
We prefer BW photos as well, it’s immediately more arty.
Thanks & cheers

Thank you, and I must agree on B&W. Specially concerning portraits.
Cheers to you ♥♥♥♥
Oh, lots to enjoy and think about here!
Thank you, Margaret! Yes, he was great.
A wonderful quote. His work is so good. Great post Ann-Christine 🙂
Thank you, Brian. Yes he was so good. In fact so good that we left the other exhibitions because they could never entertain or measure up to his. We were too mesmerized.
Such striking photos. I love this part of his quote: “to free women, and finally everyone, from the terror of youth and perfection.” As a 66-year-old, I heartily agree! 🙂
As a 66 year old, I agree too!
