Brief synopsis

For Robert Lebeck, photography is a means of capturing reality. As one of the great German post-war photographers, he is always on the lookout for the undisguised truth, for lively, spontaneous and unstaged images.

His photos do not require any great technology. Lebeck trusts his watchful eye and captures famous personalities in pictures that speak of a unique closeness: whether Romy Schneider, Alfred Hitchcock, Elvis Presley, Herbert von Karajan or Jayne Mansfield - he always succeeded in winning the trust of his models and discovering the person behind the unapproachable star. The result was an intimacy that is reflected in the faces of the photographed. Robert Lebeck accompanied some of his models with his camera for years, such as Romy Schneider. Unforgettable photos were taken that tell the whole life story of the actress. Lebeck always had a feeling for capturing even the small gestures and using them to express great things. He elicited pointed messages even from supposedly banal situations. Even today, Lebeck's pictures have lost none of their power. Each one tells its own story: touching, funny, revealing, dramatic - always authentic;)
