Peter Lindbergh, otherwise known as a Hollywood star photographer, passed away yesterday at the age of 74.
Lindbergh, one of the best fashion photographers, was known for his cinematic style and every shot was unique.
He hated perfection in the picture, loved the subject with very little makeup and preferred natural light. The best portraits of Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and hundreds of other Hollywood stars on magazine covers bear his name.
"Cosmetics companies have done brainwashing for everyone. I don't want to edit anything. Even when they tell me 'oh, she looks tired.' "- Peter said during an interview for the Observer in 2016.
Favorite star photographer, preferred black and white photos and hated photoshop. His realistic style emerged during a time when the fashion world was dominated by excessive luster. In his work, he always said that it is the photographer's responsibility to "liberate women" and everyone else for fear of youth and perfection.
His death affected everyone who worked with him and everyone else who was just thrilled by his work.
Duchess Meghan Markle, who preferred Lindbergh above all others, said: "His work is globally acclaimed for capturing the essence of the subject. Promoting healthy beauty ideas, avoiding photoshop and choosing natural beauty with minimal make-up."
