In 2000, German photographer Peter Badge embarked on a long-term project to photograph every living Nobel Laureate. Commissioned by the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings in cooperation with the Smithsonian Institution and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., this project has taken Badge across the globe, to the laureates’ homes, labs and working places as well as holiday destinations. In this remarkable array of portraits of some of the world’s most accomplished individuals, the photographer shows us the faces of impressive personalities whose scientific expertise provides the bedrock of their teaching. As well as being respected representatives of the scientific community they stand for continuing study and the addressing of universal issues. Their bright eyes convey their shared strength and reveal their endeavors.
