Book Synopsis

With her music and boundless passion for life, Tina Turner enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow. Peter Lindbergh was a lifelong friend of the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll and shot intimate portraits of her over many years.

Lindbergh's photographs do more than just document her iconic status; they reveal the powerful, joyful, and at times introverted woman behind the public persona. Through his lens, Peter Lindbergh captured Tina Turner's radiant energy with an incredible sensitivity and his impeccable understanding of dramatic composition. His work shows Tina in all her complexity, blending her fierce spirit with quieter, more reflective moments.

Across numerous settings--from the stage to the beach, from the streets to the iconic Eiffel Tower, with the city of Paris sprawling beneath her--Peter portrayed Tina throughout the years, always capturing the real Tina. His photos depict her singing, dancing, and simply being herself, effortlessly showcasing the depth of her character. Each image tells a story, a testament to her vitality and complexity, both on stage and in life. In each of these portraits, Tina is immediately recognizable.

It's more than a collection of photographs; it's a celebration of a shared journey of creativity, trust, and mutual respect.

"We were partners in crime," remembers Tina. "He was willing to try anything--and so was I! Together, we made magic!" The magic they made together lives on in Peter Lindbergh's photographs. This book--a collection of images created during their long professional collaboration and enduring friendship--tells their special story.
