Peter Lindbergh Talks Projects

Peter Lindbergh is having a moment of truth, although not in the existentialist way. At age 70, the photographer is bombarded with assignments and special projects, not that he has ever been a loafer, but even he sounded puzzled by the recent pace. Tonight he will be at New York’s Gagosian gallery for a party in honor of his newest book “Images of Women II 2005-2014.” Numerous A-lister laden ad campaigns, collateral for next week’s opening of the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition in Paris, a major museum exhibition at Kunsthal Rotterdam next year, a film series about death-row inmates and an Italian Vogue shoot (“the best kind — lots of pages and nobody tells you what to do”) are all in the works. Reached in his Paris studio, Lindbergh pretty much lives on Air France as its third-highest frequent flier. “Of the whole airline,” he booms. “I want to know who the other two are.” 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.
