Long before it was fashionable, Lindbergh pioneered fashion photography which refused excessive polish in favour of a relaxed and joyful mood which had a timeless energy - his work from the Eighties and Nineties has the rare quality of looking as fresh today as it did then. The Duchess paid tribute to Lindbergh via the Instagram account: "His work is revered globally for capturing the essence of a subject and promoting healthy ideals of beauty, eschewing photoshopping, and preferring natural beauty with minimal makeup." The project epitomised the German photographer’s reputation for celebrating the natural, real beauty of all women - his aesthetic had the power to unite everyone from 16-year-old climate change campaigner Greta Thunberg to 81-year-old Hollywood icon Jane Fonda. Most recently, Lindbergh was commissioned by the Duchess of Sussex to photograph the 15 women she had chosen as ‘Forces for Change’ to star on the cover of the September issue of British Vogue, which she guest edited.
