The Camera Work Virtual Gallery is presenting an extraordinary exhibition featuring 24 remarkable black-and-white photographic portraits of award-winning actress and activist Emma Watson and supermodel Adriana Lima, captured by renowned photographer Vincent Peters. The exhibition, which ran until November 18, 2021, showcased these captivating portraits that mesmerize viewers with their artful staging, intimate atmosphere, and approachable quality. Several of these works were being presented for the first time worldwide, making this exhibition particularly significant for photography enthusiasts and fans alike.

Vincent Peters has maintained a creative working relationship with both Adriana Lima and Emma Watson over the past decade, during which he has created several world-famous portraits that have become iconic in the fashion and entertainment industry. His collaboration with Adriana Lima has been particularly notable for its cinematic approach, where Peters presents the supermodel in dramatic scenery and associates her personality with fictional characters and roles. Some of his works featuring Lima serve as an homage to the genre of Italian neorealism, demonstrating the photographer's deep appreciation for classic cinema and its visual storytelling techniques.

The artistic working relationship between Peters and Lima has revealed the model's versatile personality as they collaborated to create entirely new roles and personas for her to embody. Meanwhile, Emma Watson's portraits in the exhibition share a similar cinematic vision as the foundation of their creative collaboration. Peters has staged Watson in settings reminiscent of the silent movie era, while other works present her as mysterious and imaginative figures that appear to have emerged from dreams, showcasing the actress's range beyond her well-known film roles.
