| The Man, Patrick Demarchelier |
Aside from being home to the most incredible fashion houses on earth, Paris, France has given us another gift. Patrick Demarchelier is an artist; one of the greatest photographers to ever snap a picture. His name is known throughout the fashion world for his famous work with mega publications Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Marie Claire, Glamour, Rolling Stone…and so on, and so on…and so on. You would be hard pressed to find any fashion magazine in the world that hasn’t been touched by a bit of his magic. Whether photographing top supermodels, rock n’ roll legends, or rarely seen animals in Tanzania, Mr. Demarchelier has an uncanny ability to seize the emotion of a moment and freeze it, giving us the ability to enjoy it eternally. If you weren’t there when the picture was snapped, (which you probably weren’t,) it doesn’t matter. You will still be able to look at the image and feel like you were present. His camera lenses gaze into the souls of his subjects and gives the public an intimate look at a moment not shared by anyone else. The work he’s done on ad campaigns for major fashion greats such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren, and Calvin Klein can be seen splashed across magazines and billboards worldwide. It is safe to say Patrick Demarchelier’s work is unparalleled in its range and execution, and I for one hope he never stops snapping.
