In 1978 Peter Lindbergh moved to Paris to work internationally for Vogue. He then continued to work for other magazines including The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. Lindbergh also made portraits for countless celebrities including Madonna, John Travolta, and Tina Turner.
The lady in this photograph seems to be depressed and has some issues she is struggling through. This picture makes me curious as to what emotions the photographer was trying to convey. From her shirt she does not seem to be of a low social class, so maybe Lindbergh was trying to display that wealth does not bring happiness.
This photograph is intriguing. It makes me think of someone hiding behind a fake facade in order to to come across a certain way. The dark makeup makes me feel that she is not in a happy state and is hiding her true emotions. Although this may not be what the photographer was intending, it is what I believe.
To be honest I have no idea what this photograph means. I chose it because I think it is interesting and I like the shadow that goes across her face. The fact that she is looking away from the camera makes it seem like she does not want to be looked at and the dark colors of her hair, wardrobe, and background create a dismal atmosphere.
In this picture, the spotlight creates a place where your eye automatically looks. Because of the spotlight, at a first glance the background fades away and is not noticeable. I think the woman reaching towards the light displays how mesmerizing it is and that perhaps the light symbolizes a person's desires.
