Vincent Peters' best black and white photographs — more than 200 in total — now in a large format Collectors Edition!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Vincent Peters' photographs have left the fast-moving trends of fashion photography behind and become timeless works of art. Born in Bremen in 1969, Peters has been one of the most sought-after fashion and portrait photographers for over 25 years. With his signature black-and-white photography and exquisite lighting, his portraits look like snapshots from classic movies.

Supermodels, stars, and legends have all stood before his camera - from Penélope Cruz and Rosamund Pike to Mickey Rourke and Matt Dillon. This new Collector's Edition with luxurious linen finish expands on Peters' bestselling book with 30 new images, all personally selected by Peters. A collection of astonishing portraits, in which the intimate urgency of the moment creates a timeless image.

Selected Works is a testament to Peters' unique eye and style.

Author: Born in Bremen, Germany, in 1969, Vincent Peters moved to New York City at the age of twenty to work as a photographer's assistant. After returning to Europe in 1995, he worked for various art galleries and on personal projects. In 1999, he began his career at Giovanni Testino's agency as a fashion photographer. Within a year, Vincent Peters shot worldwide campaigns for brands such as Miu Miu, Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, and Wolfgang Joop.

Over time he established himself with a recognisable style, and major fashion houses like La Perla, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss, Emporio Armani, L'Oréal, Lancôme, Nike, Levi's, and many others came to him as corporate clients. His photographs appear in international magazines such as Vogue, GQ, The Sunday Times, Numéro, and Glamour. He is represented by Art Department New York, Tristan Godefroy in Paris, London and Milan & Schierke Artists Management for the German market.
