was a German fashion photographer and film director. He portrayed models like Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford, made several films, and created covers including Sheryl Crow, Beyoncé and Tina Turner's seventh solo album Foreign Affair in 1989. He was also responsible for her Missing You music video, which was used for a Hanes commercial. Peter was also responsible for some pictures for the soundtrack album What’s Love Got To Do With It and for the album Wildest Dreams.
Lindbergh preferred black & white photography and his work has been presented at international exhibitions. He also collaborated with the Tunisian designer Azzedine Alaïa, reflected in the book Azzedine Peter Alaia Lindbergh. Both shared the same criteria on beauty and aesthetics, loving the color black and the role of freedom.
In 2016, Tina visited the opening of his exhibition in Rotterdam, where he presented among others the iconic picture from Tina climbing the Eiffel Tower in high heels. When she scaled the Eiffel Tower, she clasped the side with one hand and smirked into the barrel of Peter Lindbergh’s camera. She looked like a superhuman – legs astride and body-bound in a high-slit Azzedine Alaïa mini dress. Peter told her she could put the heels on after she had climbed the tower, but she just replied, ‘You must be kidding.’
