Peter Lindbergh: The Naked Truth

Naked Truth is another beautiful photo shoot from the legendary German photographer Peter Lindbergh for Vogue Germany June 2012. In this series, Lindbergh photographed eleven well known women unadorned, makeup free, and unadulterated by photoshop, just their pure natural beauty.

" I try to be truthful in my work. There are no short cuts - if you set out with the intention of making people ugly to achieve a powerful photograph it is a fake. On the other hand beauty cannot be 'done'. Again I come back to this nebulous word 'truth' : perhaps more than anything it is trying to explain something truthful about yourself and about your perception of the way the woman sees herself. "
