Demarchelier was known to be an instinctual photographer, preferring to work swiftly.

In 2007, he was honored as an Officier de l’Ordre des arts et des lettres by the French minister of culture in recognition of his accomplishments. The following year Demarchelier’s work was featured in a retrospective at le Petit Palais in Paris. He published his first book, “Fashion Photography: Patrick Demarchelier,” in 1989 and others followed, including “Couture Patrick Demarchelier,” which showcased his images of models wearing Dior pieces dating back to 1947.

Air Mail founder and co-editor Graydon Carter, who previously commandeered Vanity Fair for years, described Demarchelier as “a singular photographer and a funny and spirited colleague. At the same time, he spoke in an English/French conspiratorial mumble, and I probably understood a quarter of what he said.”

That agility meant that he could handle a huge shoot in a day or even in half a day, Wells said. “He liked to catch people by surprise. By doing that, he created a much more real expression. His pictures weren’t stiff and pose-y. They felt alive. You didn’t feel that you were getting something very artificial. That’s one of the reasons why he was so good at celebrity [photography.] You felt the person in the image.
