Fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier dies at age 78

Photographer Patrick Demarchelier appears in front of his photograph of Madonna at the Petit Palais in Paris, Sept. 26, 2008. Demarchelier, the French-born photographer known for his high fashion images of top models and celebrities, including Princess Diana, has died at age 78.

Demarchelier made a career out of luxury brand campaigns, including those for Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Dior, and worked for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle and other top fashion magazines. He began shooting Diana in 1989 and continued as her personal photographer until the early '90s. Known to work quickly and on instinct, the self-taught Demarchelier first shot for Vogue in 1975, before moving to New York from Paris.

The lensman didn't just work in the fashion industry. He shot Janet Jackson's topless cover for Rolling Stone in 1993, her breasts covered by the hands of then-boyfriend Rene Elizondo. He trained his lens on Madonna in an iconic 1990 image of the star in a bejeweled bustier and again in leather, a cigarette dangling from her lips, during her “Justify My Love” days. And he captured Britney Spears over and over again.

That’s sad! 😢

Photography is a wonderful artform. At it's best, it captures what we want to be and perhaps even a window into our souls.
