“For people who want to look really beautiful, Demarchelier has become of the photographer of choice, perhaps the most sought-after shooter of the 1990s,” said Harper’s Bazaar of his work. Whether photographing supermodels posing in white shirts, royal princesses in tiaras or advertising campaigns for luxury brands from Chanel to Louis Vuitton, Demarchelier’s work was clear, contemporary and covetous. Fashion and portrait photographer Patrick Demarchelier, known for balancing elegance and natural ease in his work, has died. The import and status of the French fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier, who has died aged 78 in St Barths, cannot be denied. He also appeared in the film version of Sex and the City – taking photographs during Carrie’s shoot for Vogue – and popped up (as himself) in The September Issue documentary, when he literally saves the day – by taking last minute photographs for Grace Coddington when Edward Enninful’s fell short of the mark. It’s not the only film in which the French fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier is name-checked. “Did Demarchelier confirm?” Miranda Priestly asks Andy in The Devil Wears Prada.
