One of the world’s worst kept secrets.  I cannot wait to see Peter’s photos given his philosophy below.  Imagine.  Also good to see him confirm what we all already hoped, and kind of knew, when he spoke to Women’s Wear Daily:

“Recognizable for his purist style, Lindbergh seems to be prospering during the current backlash against excessive airbrushing and Photoshopping. “For me, every picture is a portrait — no matter what I’m doing. From my very old standpoint, I think everything you do should have a meaning,” he says. “The idea [that] it doesn’t is unacceptable to me. A lot of mainstream photographers seem not to think about what they’re doing or feel any responsibility toward anything. And by the time they’re done, the models don’t have any trace of themselves left. This thing about looking young with no wrinkles or expression is all so boring really.”

…

Having just shot Robert Pattinson for the new Dior Homme Parfum campaign, Charlize Theron for J’adore Dior and Michelle Williams for Louis Vuitton, Lindbergh said he doesn’t fit the designer mold, “I look more like a plumber, when you see me. Fashion is not my thing.

…

“I guess I have this image so that at least the people I photograph look the way they look. I guess that gets me a lot of work at the moment,” Lindbergh says.”

And in case you didn’t read my ramble about Dior in last week’s RPAU Week in Review – I’ve been told there’s no new campaign for Rob and Dior in Australia this year.  *shrugs*  Maybe it hadn’t been formalised yet, or maybe this is a European | US campaign – I guess time will tell if that changes.
