Peter Lindbergh is a German photographer
and filmmaker; he was born in 1944 in Poland. In 1978 Lindbergh moved to Paris
to start working internationally for Vogue.
Peter Lindbergh took this photograph of Cara Delevingne, a
British fashion model and actress. Lindbergh
likes to portray emotion and feelings through his images, this is shown by the
models eyes looking away from the camera, this creates a vulnerable atmosphere
to the photograph. Lindbergh has captured this photograph in black and white to
add depth, texture and contrast.
Lindbergh has created shadows around her face and neck with
lighting, to express subtle emotion that the model may be hiding. I think that
Lindbergh captured this photograph to portray a meaning behind it, which the
model is hiding away from something or someone, society even. That she is
hiding away from society and how she doesn't want to be society's idea of
perfect, she wants to be her and no one else. To me this photograph expresses
that with the bold, dramatic lighting and pose.
