Patrick Demarchelier

Ég heillaðist af þessum manni þegar ég skoðaði fallegu bókina um Dior sem ég fékk í afmælisgjöf. Þessi frábæri ljósmyndari tók allar myndirnar í bókinni sem eru hver annarri fallegri. Klæðnaður frá Dior frá 1948 - 2011, eitt tímabil í einu eða blandað saman. Allt mjög fagmannlega gert af góðum stílistum sem eiga hrós skilið fyrir vönduð vinnubrögð.

Born near Paris in 1943 to a modest family, he spent his childhood in Le Havre with his mother and four brothers. For his seventeenth birthday, his stepfather bought him his first camera. Demarchelier learned how to develop film, retouch negatives and began shooting friends and weddings.

In 1975, he left Paris for New York to follow his girlfriend. He discovered fashion photography by working as a freelance photographer and learning and working with photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson.

He later worked for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, first in September 1992 which resulted in a 12-year collaboration. Demarchelier has shot international advertising campaigns for Dior, Louis Vuitton, Celine, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Lacoste, Calvin Klein og Ralph Lauren.
