Honouring the life and work of photographer Peter Lindbergh. 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 Duchess of Sussex had worked with Peter in the past and personally chose him to shoot the 15 women on the cover for the September issue of British Vogue, which she guest edited. There is no other photographer she considered to bring this meaningful project to life. * "Forces for Change" was the one of the esteemed photographer's final published projects. He will be deeply missed. Photo © @therealpeterlindbergh / © SussexRoyal

Just got off my connecting flight, only to find out the sad news of @therealpeterlindbergh passing 😢 Peter Lindbergh was one of my many dream photographers to shoot with since the start of my career. I've always admired his work so much. Only 2 months ago I finally had the honor to work with him to shoot a cover that is very close to heart for @britishvogue. The minute I entered the room I fell in love with him immediately, his energy was everything. He was so kind, happy, positive and we just kept laughing throughout this entire shoot. I'm so proud to know my dream came true and I can proudly say I got to be in presence and in front of his lens. Thank you @edward_enninful @therealgracecoddington for this special moment. My deepest condolences go out to his family members, friends and those with a special relationship with him. Today is truly a sad day having to say bye to another iconic legend. But thank you Peter for everything you've done for the industry, it won't be the same without you. Rest well legend we love you and miss you already! 🙏🏾💔💔😢
