cast the same group of models—who by then were rapidly approaching supermodel status, if they hadn't already reached it—in Versace's Fall/Winter 1991 fashion show. In a 2008 interview with art historian Charlotte Cotton, Lindbergh explained:
Using black-and-white photography was really important to creating the supermodel. Every time I tried to shoot them in colour, because their beauty was close to perfection, it ended up looking like a bad cosmetics advert. With black and white, you can really see who they are. It toned down the commercial interpretation that colour gives. What's so striking about black and white is how it really helps a sense of reality to come through.
Lindbergh's first book was ''10 Women'', which came out in 1996; as of 2008, more than 100,000 copies have sold. ''Images of Women'', released in 1997 as Lindbergh's first comprehensive monograph, presented a milestone survey of portrait-oriented photographs that Lindbergh had taken over the previous ten years.

Lindbergh was the first photographer in the 50-year history of the Pirelli calendar to be invited to photograph it for a third time, for its 2017 edition. Lindbergh collaborated on two complete issues of '' Vogue'' photographed by him and his assistant, Jethro Gaines of J.Gaines Studio, one celebrating ''Vogue Germany'''s 30th anniversary in October 2009, and the other for ''Vogue Spain'' in December 2010.

is reflected in the book of photographs dedicated to the Tunisian designer with whom he had a great friendship. Both shared the same criteria on beauty and aesthetics, loving the color black and the role of freedom. In 2015, ''Images of Women II: 2005-2014'' was published as a sequel to 1997's ''Images of Women''. In the text component of the book, Lindbergh wrote the following:
If photographers are responsible for creating or reflecting an image of women in society...then, I must say, there is only one way for the future, and this is to define women as strong and independent. This should be the responsibility of photographers today: to free women, and finally everyone, from the terror of youth and perfection.

wrote of Peter Lindbergh's work, "Refusing to bow to glossy perfection is Peter Lindbergh's trademark – the essence of the images that look into each person's unvarnished soul, however familiar or famous the sitter." In 2016, speaking in ''Artforum'', Lindbergh stated that: "A fashion photographer should contribute to defining the image of the contemporary woman or man in their time, to reflect a certain social or human reality. How surrealistic is today's commercial agenda to retouch all signs of life and of experience, to retouch the very personal truth of the face itself?"


Films

Lindbergh directed a number of films and documentaries. In 1991, ''Models, The Film'' was shot in New York and starred Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour. ''Inner Voices'' (1999) was a drama documentary examining self-expression in
