“But this idea of beauty
has nothing to do with the real world or with women. Through the
Pirelli Calendar I’ve tried to convey a different message, which is that
beauty
is far more than what advertising offers us today. My aim was therefore
to portray women in a different way: and I did this by calling in
actresses who’ve played an important role in my life, getting as close
as possible to them to take my photos.”
The photographer added: “I wanted to portray women not in terms of their
perfection, but through their feelings and emotions,” the photographer
explains. “That’s why I called this edition of the Calendar ‘Emotional’:
not some artificial perfection, but the real world and the emotions
that well up behind the faces of these women.”
Lindbergh, has always been inspired by the movies. “I think photography
is as interesting as cinema because you can use just the slightest thing
to make a whole lot of things visible. You see someone crossing the
street: in cinema it would be nothing, whereas in photography time stops
at a given moment—a wonderful, strange, intensely profound and
emotional moment—a moment that comes from nothing, simply because time
has stopped,” he says. “I think this is what makes photography so
fascinating.”
