Peter Lindbergh: Invasion : Portfolio No. 29

Although he’s most widely known for his artistic vision of the fashion world, Peter Lindbergh is also a science fiction nut. This fun and fantastic collection of rarely seen photos demonstrates Lindbergh’s flair for the dramatic, the weird, and the downright spooky. These images of aliens and explosions, flying saucers and dumbstruck models venture into the realm of film and pop art, but they are every bit as glamorous as his fashion work. From UFOs over a modern city and frightened figures wrapped in mist, to an elegant couple witnessing a desert explosion and their capture by extraterrestials, Lindbergh’s attention to detail, his sophisticated sense of irony, as well as his wit and charm make these colorful explosive photos a dynamic addition to an already brilliant career.
