Personal // Print Isabeli Fontana, London, 2011

For more than 20 years, Vincent Peters has been among the best photographers internationally. The artist, a native of Bremen, Germany, lives in Paris and Ibiza and sees the world as his playground. His unmistakable signature style – sensitive, classic photos – is in equally high demand for celebrity, fashion, and advertising photography. With minimal resources, he is able to create dramatic images that look like stills from an imaginary movie. Every picture makes you wonder what will happen next.

His first photo book, The Light Between Us, was published in 2014 and showed his best shots of actors, models, and musicians. Now he dedicates himself to his favorite subject in Personal: women. Once again, we encounter stars as they have never been seen before; Penélope Cruz, Linda Evangelista, and Irina Shayk are only some of the prominent ladies featured. Vincent Peters hand-selected the pictures for this book, most of which have never been published before. Along with his portraits, there are also nudes that highlight his masterful use of light to create sensuous photographs. This enables him to create mysterious images that celebrate feminine beauty and draw us inexorably under their spell.
