I have not taken inspiration from the fashion shows. I don’t even really go to too many of the fashion shows – and have not for 15 years – because I don’t want to be inspired by the same things as everyone else. If everyone is inspired by the same things, then of course, you all do the same pictures. Peter Lindbergh Read Quote
I show elements of the set in my pictures because it’s not real. When I see movies, I often love the ‘making of’ more than the movie itself. It’s not so final. When you have a woman just standing there, it doesn’t mean much. Peter Lindbergh Read Quote
In the beginning of my twenties, I started transcendental meditation. For years, I did nothing else. Every holiday, I went to courses. Meditation is a real simple instrument. You don’t need a long beard or a sari. It’s meant to bring you to yourself. It’s as easy as that. Peter Lindbergh Read Quote
Fashion photography should say something about the stability of a certain time you live in or what kind of women you like. The most interesting thing is not what they’re wearing but who they are. Peter Lindbergh Read Quote
These days, photographers have expensive contracts with actresses, but then the actresses have to have their names written in the column because nobody recognizes them. That’s kind of strange. Peter Lindbergh Read Quote
Now there is this whole terror about getting old. Today, that fascination with youth is overrated. What’s so special about being young? I just say that because I’m old. Peter Lindbergh Read Quote
Heartless retouching should not be the chosen tool to represent women in the beginning of this century. Peter Lindbergh Read Quote
