In 1989, Lindemann sold his first photograph—a milestone in his career. The renowned art publisher Verkerke, based in Ede, the Netherlands, added the image to its portfolio and distributed it worldwide.
The photograph received an exceptionally positive response: more than 50,000 copies were sold internationally—an unexpected success that gave significant momentum to his further development as a photographer.
In the early 2000s, Lindemann was represented by Agentur Focus, through which many of his works were placed in magazines and other publications.
One notable example is his portrait of Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse, which appeared in Der Spiegel and was subsequently published by numerous other media outlets.
Since then, Lindemann’s photographs have been featured in a wide range of print and online media, from editorial articles to artistic series.
A particularly significant chapter in Lindemann’s work is his long-term project Monobloc, which explores the world’s most widely used chair.
In 2016, LFI – Leica Fotografie International became the first magazine to present the project in detail, publishing a six-page feature:

The series was subsequently shown in several exhibitions, including:
MONOBLOC – A Chair for the World
Vitra Design Museum, 17 March–18 June 2017
Further exhibitions took place in France, Switzerland, and other locations.
The exhibition at the Vitra Design Museum attracted considerable media attention. Reports and features appeared in Germany’s Tagesschau evening news, Der Spiegel, Stern, Spiegel Online, and numerous international design publications.
In March 2014, the specialist magazine PHOTOGRAPHIE dedicated a double-page feature to Lindemann’s work. Under the heading FOTOKUNST FÜR SIE (“Photographic Art for You”), the publication acknowledged his distinctive photographic approach, illustrated by his portrait of Helmut Newton.
For Lindemann, the feature marked a particularly significant moment. It was not only a recognition of his photographic work, but also a confirmation that his images extend beyond pure documentation, developing into a visual form of expression with a clear artistic ambition.
One of the most personal projects of Lindemann’s photographic career is a book he photographed and designed for Karl Lagerfeld—a quiet homage: about KL, for KL.
The work was created through a close creative dialogue and serves as a photographic exploration of one of the most influential designers of our time.
Understated in format yet precise in expression, the book captures the unmistakable presence of the “Kaiser.”
