Photographers were accused and Patrick was one of them.

There were cases, of course, when the #MeToo movement came up. “We never had a discussion with our clients about it. Despite that, he and his longtime employer Condé Nast parted ways. There were sexual misconduct allegations brought against Demarchelier by seven women in a 2018 Boston Globe investigation, which he strongly denied publicly. But as a gallery, we love showing them because we have a lot of clients that collect nude pictures. “The nudes were never a sexual view of the model. The exhibition has numerous nude portraits of several of the aforementioned ’90s models including Crawford and Turlington. It would never answer that it was the one of Amber, Gigi or Cindy. However, if pressed to name a favorite portrait, Demarchelier would single out “Puffy.” That made “everyone think he meant Puff Daddy.

“If you asked him if he had a favorite picture, he always said, ‘I only think about new pictures, because the past is the past.’” I miss him,” said Hartjen.ĭemarchelier was not partial to any particular image and his favorite back story was “no story,” Hartjen said. He was a gentleman, a wonderful person to talk to, and very shy, but humble. I don’t see anyone following in these footsteps. “I’m just sad that the last of the big five has left this world.

(He was also the first non-British photographer to be hired by the royal family.) But personal legacy was not a topic of conversation with Demarchelier, who could be found at collectors’ dinners speaking quietly one-on-one with someone instead of holding court or giving a speech. That was precisely why the former Princess of Wales, Diana, loved working with him, Hartjen said. But he did things so quickly.”ĭemarchelier also once explained to WWD, “A good picture is a moment, you catch the moment. “No one would think that because he was such a perfectionist. Referring to his speed, he once explained that he often got the shot before people even started thinking about being photographed, according to Hartjen, whose gallery started working with Demarchelier in 2014. “I like the beauty of life, the beauty of people, animals - everything,” he told WWD in 2007. His photography was so synonymous with fashion that Meryl Streep’s fashion magazine character “Miranda Priestly” named-checked him in the 2006 film “The Devil Wears Prada.” But Demarchelier was equally intrigued by photographing the unknown in all their unsung radiance. Condé Nast enlisted him for most of his career, shooting for Vogue, Glamour, GQ, Vanity Fair, Allure and Teen Vogue, although he also had logged several years at Harper’s Bazaar. They are my camera,” Hartjen said, noting how his agility enhanced his talent was. ”Īt a certain point Demarchelier recognized his own capabilities and his vision, determining “I don’t even need a camera because I have my eyes. He went on to freelance for a few photographers and later moved to New York. “This was the kind of gift that got a reaction like, ‘Hmm…OK.’ Then he just started taking pictures. Born outside of Paris, Demarchelier was less than enthused by the gift of a camera from his stepfather on his 17th birthday. The fact that Demarchelier came into photography out-of-the-blue may surprise many. Editors told her how he “never wasted too much time on hair and makeup, or anyone’s time on set, and in almost every case he got the perfect picture.” Demarchelier was praised by models and editors alike for his swift speed and knack “for just seeing things as they are,” Hartjen said. Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, Amber Valletta, Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer, Gigi Hadid and her sister Bella, Karlie Kloss, RuPaul and Ashley Graham are among the models who are featured in the show. One of the lensman’s many talents was an ability to capture his subjects - including supermodels who have been photographed numerous times - as they are, as opposed to their public personas. Some might be surprised by a 1999 photo of Donald Trump seated at a desk with his now-wife Melania splayed on top of it in an Oval Office-looking space. In what now seems like foresight, the exhibition has a hearty assortment of ’90s-era models - several of which have returned to the fashion scene in recent seasons.
