Drama out West: Lara Stone

Peter Lindburgh has a winning formula that goes a little something like this: beautiful young model, seasoned male actor, cinematic romance.
Some past works paired Daria Werbowy with David Strathairn, Daphne Groeneveld with Pascal Greggory. The latest: Lara Stone and American actor Fred Ward.
While there’s something inherently captivating about such a pairing – an endless fascination with younger women and older men – the romance in Lindbergh’s shoots isn’t overt nor is it sexual. It’s a romance in setting, and styling, and mood. In a few frames we can only glimpse snippets of a relationship, but in Lindbergh’s cinematic worlds, they always seem equal parts tumultuousness and tenderness.
