A TRICK OF THE LIGHT

At 52 years old, German-born photographer Vincent Peters is quite young in relation to the great lensmen with whom he is often compared. Peters, whose portraits and fashion editorials have graced the pages of major magazines such as Vogue, Glamour, GQ and many others over the past 25 years, prefers to shoot on film, and favors black-and-white for most of his work; his photographs have a classical, timeless quality.

This elegant approach to his chosen medium is evident in an alluring new book from brought out in conjunction with a major solo exhibition titled , at Fotografiska museum in Stockholm. The book features over 200 images selected by Peters, including some of his most iconic celebrity portraits of Emma Watson, Scarlett Johansson, Charlize Theron, Laetitia Casta, John Malkovich, and Mickey Rourke, among others.
