Vincent Peters – författare

For more than 20 years, Vincent Peters has been playing in the first league of international photography. The Bremen-born artist is at home in Paris and Ibiza and sees the world as his playing field. His unmistakable signature of sensitive, classic shots is equally in demand in celebrity, fashion and advertising photography. With minimal means, he is able to create dramatic shots that look like stills from an imaginary film. With each image, you wonder what will happen next. In 2014, he published his first volume The Light Between Us, which collected his best shots of actors, models and musicians. Now, in Personal, he turns to his favourite subject: women. Once again we encounter stars as we have never seen them before; Penélope Cruz, Linda Evangelista and Irina Shayk are just a few of the prominent names. Vincent Peters has made a personal selection of mostly unpublished photographs for this volume. In addition to portraits, there are also nudes in which his art of creating sensual photographs with skilful lighting comes into its own. In this way, he creates mysterious images that celebrate female beauty and inevitably draw us under their spell.
