Patrick Demarchelier is a towering name in contemporary fashion photography. In a career that spanned over four decades he maintained his position at the pinnacle of his profession by his consummate taste, style, and meticulous technique.
Born in the port city of Le Havre, Patrick began working in darkrooms and assisting photographers before magazines began hiring him on his own. His accomplished portraiture, exquisite use of color, and the elegance of his black and white work caught the eye of Condé Nast’s famed editor Alexander Liberman and in 1974 he began working for American VOGUE. His photographs appeared in the pages of VOGUE, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar for over 4 decades. He also photographed innumerable advertising campaigns and his long-time collaboration with Christian Dior is represented in several photographs in this exhibition. Patrick published several books and exhibited his work in gallery and museum exhibitions worldwide, including a 2008 retrospective of over 400 works at the Petit Palais in Paris: an acknowledgement of the position that fashion photography now holds in the history of photography.
