A huge loss for the fashion world: the legendary fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier has died.
Demarchelier is known to the general public, first of all, as the personal photographer of Princess Diana. It was he who created a number of photographs reflecting the sophistication and aristocracy of the “princess of human hearts". The master of the “random frame", as he was called in the fashion industry, not only reflected the interesting moments of the princess's life, but also became her close friend.
However, Demarchelier's career was not limited to the role of a court photographer. All supermodels and Hollywood stars dreamed of working with the master, knowing that he would show not only the outer shell, but also the depth of emotions, spiritual mood and make the object of his creativity warmer and more sincere. Among the celebrities who constantly turned to Demarchelier's help are such stars as Anthony Hopkins and Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Madonna, Kate Moss and Giani Versace, Coco Chanel and Hillary Clinton.
Demarchelier's career began in the seventies of the twentieth century, and already in the 80s the whole world knew his name. The most famous glossy magazines - Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Rolling Stone, Elle, Marie Claire, Glamour and many others considered it an honor to publish his work. Patrick Demarchelier was sincerely committed to the principle of “enjoy every moment” and tried to show the beauty of life in his photographs. Another of his rules was simplicity and naturalness. This is exactly what he demanded from his models. Thanks to his photographs, fashion covers moved away from the contrived verified poses of models and began to publish natural images. This was a kind of breakthrough in the fashion industry.
In 2007, the master received one of the most honorable awards in the creative world - the title of officer of the Order of Literature and Art. However, the highest reward for him has always been the opportunity to reflect the random beauty of our world.
