Peter Lindbergh-Fashion photographer :)


 Peter Lindbergh(born November 23,1944) is a German fashion photographer. He is considered to be one of the world's best fashion photographers, particularly in black and white.He is also credited taking the photographs of supermodels in the 1990's. The image on the left is in black and white.

This photo is of Kate Moss in black and white and her eyes stand out.It was taken on a grey background. This model is posing to show the bangle on her wrist as it is an advert .I can tell its advert as "David Yurman" is an american designer jewelry company.The photographer prefers his models to have minimal makeup and a simple hairstyle.These photographs by contrast are simple,elegant and stunning.Peter's work developed in a completely different direction:Powefuk black and white photographs,rich in contrasts.The dramatic style of his photo series is the result of interest in cinema: his work contains references to directors from Fritz Lang to Jim Jarmsch.


Here are some other photographs he took:

I like the pose of the first photograph with the woman looking down and and her fingers on her lips. This  is a black and white photo. I think this is a really good close up of the woman doing the pose, as it shows her top and jewelry really well. I like the lightning on this photograph, as the light hits her face, neck and even a bit of her arm where the watch is. 

The second photograph is also in black and white. I like how this photograph has a light background and the photo is dark. I also like the pose of the woman smiling and with one eye covered with the hat. I think the lightning is very good quality in this photograph, as the light hits her face and neck. I like the decorative patterns on her top, as they look visually appealing an eye-catching.

The third photograph is of a Dior advert. I like how this photograph is different from the rest, as its not black and white. I like the background of this photo, as it stands out. I like the lightning in this as its bright and makes the woman's face stand out. 


             



This is photograph of Beyonce Knowles.The photo is in black and white apart from the outfit what she's wearing ,which is in colour. This makes the outfit/costume stand out against the dark background. I like the lightning of the background of this picture, as it shows an visually old looking wall and the shadows in the background emphasize Beyonce's outfit even more. 
                                    

You can tell how famous a photograph is by looking at the photos it inspired.The above picture,of Lisa Fonssagrives at the Eiffel Tower is one of such photos.Translucent and temporary pose.Fonssagrives' pose was copied a number of times in fashion photography. I like this photograph, as the pose that the woman is doing with her eyes staring down and her holding her dress and standing on the Eiffel Tower. I think the pose looks really effective and visually appealing. The photograph looks eye-catching and it stands out.


 In 2008,Peter Lindbergh revisited the scene with Marion Cotillard for Dior handbag advertisement(see below).
I like this photograph of a Dior Advert.  The pose that the woman is doing is of her standing on a building with one hand on the building and her eyes are standing at something ahead. I like this photograph, as the lightning in this photograph looks bright and the light hits her face and the sky which makes the photo look effective. I like the background of this photograph, as its of really small buildings that are blurred out and the sky looks visually appealing. I think the overall photograph looks eye-catching and appealing.

  1. You have included a selection of photographers to research; you must analyse these images, talk about the technicalities (lighting, backdrop, the model's poses) as well as any inspiration that they provide you with.
