The in. The boomer. In me in the wind in the. Beginning and amazingly in. They can always recognize what it means in the being is no one else. Since the end there can always spot the Pater Limburg signature even in color photos a few years back but as. One of the most influential and in demand photographers in the fashion world hes been named best photographer in the industry several times and the makers of luxury goods use his pictures to sell glamour. Everyone wants pay tellin back hes become famous through his black and white portraits. Model still lined up to work with them even if he is the other side of 70. I dont know his secret but i would guess that it does have something to do with standing. Fiercely. Been going off into a city. Not a musket through his photos give you 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 devon and he can uncover the cold or everybody feels an emotional connection isnt countries and can highly. Museums of spirit thats a unique talent yes. I dont know any other photographer whos capable of that kind of photographing to us and our focus. Really. Needs back is a story teller his method is more like a film director except what hes after is that half a 2nd containing all the emotion and mystery that you need for a movie. The learned. Weather models or high profile actresses like Nicole Kidman being lead back always incorporates his protagonists into the working process a man who understands women and admires that. Probably the most of new drugs men or women are generally gutsier than men or men tend to be show off some cowards. I shouldnt be so nasty about us. Women are observed more. And i have a lot of metal. Beside him. Up move this move over to. The. And theyre also more responsible and a lot more open and willing to take risks. Where the men just stand there with a cigar in their look. So as we take your photo of churchill must have been incredibly boring to look. 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 they said from denmark her name surfaced at Major International fashion houses to lend bags photos of her shes become one of his favorite models to work with a natural part of lindberghs work is creating a closeness to the women he photographs. 5th vote though. 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. Im a lot from 9 to 5. And then i go home and im glad to be there on thundersnow although for the. Industry circles paid back is considered the inventor of the supermodels he recalls the dawn of that era in the studio loft in paris. You can ski. Preorders for the cover cover of my 1st ever perelli calendar. Then there is linda. The because bill pasco. Oh no you know me. Before you know that was january 92 for british vogue. And this is the birth certificate of the supermodel josephine this is if you cant hold the super bowl that. This was a demo meant. 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 party they were Like High Society ladies stahmann. Back had turned human clothes horses into selfconfident women with their own personalities stars in their own right the more conservative among the industrys editors found it hard to come to terms with this new angle on portraying women as what it sucks you can see here the shock over how these women try to become supermodels or they were suddenly this is the photo where they said we cant use this. Loser. 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 a bag thats what he was interested in the clothes he 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 move eventually says careers skyrocketed after she followed back suggestion that she cut her hair short. Thanks to she would become world famous. Yes this is it this is news are the years from left to right. This its this its here now up here. This lets now you get your haircut and it goes like this. A year or 2 from now there appear to me that i would say outweigh the short hair and. Get wired it brought me to completely. Different laughs. We accompany linpack on issued in the 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 sense these. You know. The pressure is on for the crew because the dogs are at least as important for a little backstory as the models. Do us a man. The photographer takes matters into his own hands and uses his charm to win over the park guard. Concert were going to do going to be fast because we do something on little food on the go for the job is back on except just as the team are ready to start shooting theres another take up. Appears to have given for a good 3. Red shoes. Gold for. Their shoes on or because of what you have said. Not just no shoes you could have become used to should be a question for the models are just Wearing Hotel Slippers the shoes are an integrity part of the shoot. You should have no noise or no i think you get on the bed. A bit if you suck the dough into. Photos its a real concert and about 3 or something because they were looking for the profit for the photo is not going to hold up on finally the shoes turn up and they can begin to get a little bit sticking with the frame by frame the little love story takes shape told by lindbergh in the style of a photo novella on the bus a little fall into the snow to put her hand to a solution on foot before current form. It starts off with her waiting at the cafe for her girlfriend. To then this is the guns close group. Meanwhile her girlfriend buy some flowers which she then brings along to the date. We see her on her way. To the for a political 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 the rosensweig with Everything Else black. And then they meet. Im still not sure what shots. Its only been a day. For good if they meet in this place things take their course but when you know what kind of a real relationship they have. Filled with you would soon be. Back is very much a team player and is keen to integrate the models and the entire crew into his ideas. And its not as 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 havent confirmed for me it feels like black and white caps under the skin color just stays on the surface thats my impression with the film no no the real the real real its not going to take off or not its a real beauty because the real beauty nobody knows nobody really proved it for real review to pick up poor. Through. No come in its perfectly good. Makeup hes actually an anti makeup photographer and his make of 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 to sometimes when i see him he has this workman like feel. Skippers undoes on theres this photo by august of a blacksmith and i thought what lindbergh was doing in paris was like a blacksmiths showing the most elegant race horses. We did in the country he makes the horses faster of a and they are aware that. Theres a big dance element in there but in a subtle way. They all have a dancers posture of playing. Something he extracts from the women. Theres a bit of a circus family atmosphere at shoots. As it was you can tell they always have a good time lunch but of course as were left with them the good side. Is a target in hollywood managed to make so many decent models out of so many hollywood a listers that theyre performing in the clothes. He invented that hes on and. Its all a world away from the one lynn bag hails from he grew up in germanys industrial heartland of the a valley between the chimney stacks of. As far and this 4th book cost of living i was an apprentice window dresser at a Big Department store and we had no books or hard to our home is just one little encyclopedia on the table not even on a table it had these little photos of africa that was my cultural upbringing in the form and downtown dispur cui would see these Window Decorations sets that were setting the trend. One whos here on american said skin tight pants on and quite small to go to a dave modeling agencies might give young people disagreeing about the big wide world but this was the most exciting thing id ever seen oaf with the good theater through oh the i left school really early and 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 and my father said the boys going to do what he wants there you must put them on the. Street. I think age of 18 limbs 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 fang got. Shows off the thoughts about if i had any dortch marks man had no plans to return to germany with the boots but i got some work there but after a week i had to lay for i was staying because i was low on money he thought there that i love him because he thought all civil of. The fiction of the goodness lot of what i want or 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 afternoons work for not because i was over the ball. It was a lifestyle he loved the world was his oyster. Stew. Meat and. My friends began to get nervous and so there was an order though for them i was always. Going around from here to there doing Different Things they said dont you want to start doing something for. One of them had a friend called hans looks who needed an assisted living in a council he was a proper ever ties a photographer a great grandmother let me do a lot although i couldnt do anything. As a few mommies over to explain to our soon realize that photography was a fantastic means of expressing yourself with mood lists of the sources. For the style he developed back then movement was pivotal from the outset he took pictures spontaneously according to his feelings he didnt use a tripod instead of dancing with his subjects it was also where he began looking for that one all encompassing moment street. You. Mean. He drew inspiration from the silent movies of the german expressionist era for example flits lungs metropolis with its and just real theme and machines that reminded him of his childhood into spoke. It out wish i was decent through peta has a knack for capturing the highlights in a movement but thats mostly impossible in the fashion world because it just keeps babbling on its like a stream of lava heat and light that just keeps going on. In fashion there is no standing still photography suggests a kind of standstill north a magazine is trying to do that every 2 weeks or every month take a snapshot of the moment but theres no taking a break in fashion a mortar. And paper 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 its the people in those foreign lands that hes interested in he became the 1st western photographer to have a major exhibition in china its part of his long term project the unknown. The photographer himself explores unknown territory. I think. Shocking unexpected. Thing today. With. Frank castle zani is a curator and longtime collaborator of lent back they have a working relationship going back 20 years and its not just individuals led back remains loyal to paris is one of the locations that has lost none of its attraction for him when they. It all start. A large show about it until and if when the fashion editor of 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. Well give you 14 pages to do whatever you want. So i did and it turned out very nicely pretty spectacular. And. Then the an art director of marie claire in france saw that series and he called me up in dusseldorf to say theyd like to work with me it was even going to be the of. The hollows and this because at some point i was renting this lovely house which had just been fitted with carpets and all this awful stuff. By the fog you 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 the additional perks so we parked up and left all are things that are moved to paris was nothing but you know of them with all of. Us. Thats how peter brought back reinvent himself as peter lim plug and the 1st thing he did was send photos around of a model sitting in front of a newspaper model these asked for the title one of them had the headline from Charles LindberghsAtlantic Crossing the specially reprinted in massive letters below the kids paris. Paris in an earlier more innocent era the sons of men 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 los angeles. To most of. The fashions and models come and go sasha amended play refuses to age and it seems neither does the photographer. He lives in says a man with his family its his haven when he takes a break from his globetrotting. You are still here a lot because its pretty close to my work in the middle of. It. Bags german has gotten a little rusty so hes 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 really the entrance you can take photos of this window thats 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 at the front of them so its a kind of triangle together with paris one of the more that i alternate between them at least twice a month its like having a kind of extended city. He finds terms like world citizen or cosmopolitan pretentious ultimately he feels at home wherever hes taking pictures. Of the day for many of the. I dont feel like a new yorker and definitely not french i didnt mean that in a disparaging way. But i dont feel french. Through the. Air over half of our american a family thing but not really and you always do feel like the kid from discord and i dont think thats ever going to change. Lives back has his own library of art related books a dozen alone by art historian van ash piece. The goods on his own good picasso sculpt tauren mock sounds from material to mock sounds collage or collage into continent picasso or how can one man write so much. That vast archive serves as an inspiration for lynn backs work. For does he miss all of this when he is away. With it its always a nice site to welcome me back with those are 2 Different Things. Another of his idols is on tony now told playwrights director and king of the cafe scene in 1920 s. And thirtys 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 island their unity and the big picture that he thrives on. A. News story im going to go through the night with both of them to. Good to form. Good together they want to book. 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 a. Good one to do the right thing. And when the day is finally over if hes tired he certainly doesnt show it. Again for. I think ive seen him display symptoms of what you could call the napoleonic sickness and. Its a state of mind he can take a 3 minute nap in a taxi and then he is 100 percent refresh again in. The room and after a day without a break he sometimes then works through the night. With the porters i work a lot of night. Own other thoughts and when youre alone at night you might have 6 or 7 hours to yourself. To cook for all these things start buzzing around in your mind and i need to throw fits. Or during the week are usually go to bed about form. I mean something urgent comes up then i know i cant overdo it and think it is hide from unfit for me i need about 3 hours sleep at a minimum. As advice to this is the most often was. The nights in which he develops his visions and ideas are also closely linked to the mood that is repeatedly manifest in his pictures of 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 do the hunting to the. Initial often over the last someones laughing thats all you see and that ruins the rest of. Us to put them into. Oh that was 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 to see which are all obscured by that thing that people call laughter. And. Relief. In the last week and. Tonight. Again seems. To me. Hes been saying im good so im familiar with 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 would be oh boy i tell myself this if its silly about this its a lot nicer to have someone whos grumpy and moaning about how dreadful the days when its off with a little i normally have the opposite of that which is great though my being able to keep to yourself whats in them is one physician is. But lindbergh is himself a star and stars often find themselves in the spotlight here he attends a panel of vent where hell be sharing his stage with filmmaker vem vendors hosted by fellow photographer jim but i kita. Pinback might be reluctant to admit it but he enjoys the attention and is very much aware of how his market value works a large scale and photo costs around 75000. 00 euros. For the. Lens baird shares a long friendship with a vendor and with jim a key to a passion for perfection and portrait photography its a capacity crowd much to the satisfaction of lend back. Because from have watched pater at work a few times and its a massive operation with all the equipment and trucks and people. But pater makes you forget all that so you take your actors and models away from it all and suddenly youre sitting in a different corner where there is no lights and youre taking pictures of what you really wanted to take. That people always say what a great photo thats or thats her but thats nonsense there is no one photo by somebody. Theres a thing that i learned over the years 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. You know me. In fact its the feelings of the 2 people who were present to create the photo. Mentioned. The food. And thats precisely what he searching for in the most despaired of atmospheres. For nothing on the moon full of apartment blocks the atmosphere 0 chance. Thats more than thats the backdrop for k. C. And the one who used to be on the olympic team in french i dont know if she is french. Looking for a cover band today she works as a male model for forking over to north near the border but for. The district of paris half deserted and with an eerie feel about it for Peter Lindbergh the concrete jungle provides an ideal motif for telling stories wrapped in mystery. Hours it would be great is. To bring you. The courses through the over that we dont see 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 peters photographs and. Even though. I didnt know that they were his and wasnt particularly focused on fashion. His photographs were so poetic that when i saw them i remembered them and. What i remembered about. Them was that the women were looking directly into the camera and they looked. Solid. And so when i was asked to do a this project with peter. I said if there i thought to myself theres anyone who. Know 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 do that thinking of move. Back makes his selection while still no cation already knowing how he wants to tell the story 14 hours later the final photo for today. There is really. There is a. Little. Capital there are. Both of them. But if you felt a little hungry all the 3 of us just referred to you. But i know it was his authenticity opens up a place within people that they didnt even know they have to know. So whats the secret to this wizard of photography his sincerity and interest in individuals and their feelings does he love his subjects. Yes a good move forward its a few people criticize me for loving them all as if that depreciates it the the mother pissed with use according to the conventional perspective loving everybody means love is meaningless nonsense. Thats where the testament project comes in looking at the people involved with the its very intense and profound and then you discover altogether Different Things that were going to move the. 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. System calling it testament made sense. For its about people who are going to disappear. Or the idea is having an un doctored picture of somebody to go obloquy on the film does not tell you what theyve done thing. 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 its 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 dont look anywhere else until it rings. I think it was 1st known for everything youve lost or won or imagined it all passes through your mind to them. So you see everything its crazy its in your face thats the interesting part of into something. In paris she applies the same passion when photographing the pet dog of louis with tons menswear designer for dog lovers magazine a small favor for an important customer. Who knows whats new is the truth and otherwise its a rat race there are only so many days in the year. And all that work for major clients heats up your free time you can focus and just leave. So our books tend to always get in the way. It was abuse and it was like to be clear thousands are. This shoot is for a japanese client in asia to pay tellin bank is a superstar in the photography scene. Meant to look for things like 12 people came from tokyo for 2 photos of a current. One crop here the other years. But. I feel like that i think that. The forbidden fruit has it up to every time they see a photo they say wonderful. Over and over and over the stuff but that doesnt mean anything. You have to know yourself whether the picture is wonderful ok though if you could show this and say wonderful this is from the. Ok its almost good food. That it will promise. My. But. Didnt if you can trace every step an element back to yourself and judge the result you dont need to listen to anybody else except when you want to listen to somebody. And then you know right where you are and then everyone can say oh wonderful youre the best but you know very definitely that its not true for the if you dont have any roots you believe in anything. As long as there are people he can love the and you love him hell keep on taking photos. Of her while hes 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 bottles of food and records. Geist plays and its remarkable how he surfs contemporary currents as a self hes inside isnt off the hook at the end but its a good by trying to explain to people when they ask if i want to stop well thats the most beautiful moment where you can access everything and have the most complicated thing spinning through the air on your Little Finger glad that you really got.
