In 2000 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 the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. as well as the Deutsches Museum
and co-funded by the Klaus Tschira Stiftung 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 scientifi c expertise
provides the bedrock of their teaching. As well-respected representatives of the scientifi c
community they stand for continuing study and the addressing of universal issues. Their bright
eyes convey their shared strength and revealtheir endeavours.
