DEMARCHELIER Patrick (Photographer)

Patrick Demarchelier catches Nadja Auermann mid-spin, her aigrette adding to an aura of costume history. Though relentlessly modern, Demarchelier's work also has a grand quality usually associated with the great haute couture photographers of the 1950s. He left Paris for New York in 1975 and started a long relationship with America's magazines, in particular the Condé Nast titles Vogue, Glamour and Mademoiselle. In 1992 he joined Harper's Bazaar, recruited by Liz Tillberis for his clear, graphic photographs. It was the perfect material for the spreads designed by creative director Fabien Baron. Tough dealing largely with the vicissitudes of fashion, Demarchelier's work has also explored other territories. With a highly successful and prolific career, Demarchelier remains in demand, regularly shooting for titles like Vogue, Interview, Vanity Fair and W.
