Who is Patrick Demarchelie in by what words you can start a story about the icon? Only a lazy resident of the world of photography did not give out the laudatory odes to him. He himself evaluates himself and his work with subtle irony and branded squint of crafty eyes. Master of the "random frame". The author of portraits, which have become the legendary personnel of the age.

Patrick Demarchie Patrick Demarchelier. The beginning of the creative path, the photograph early became the central occupation of the young Patrick. A segment of life is twenty -year long, from his native Gavar in France and the first personal camera, presented by a stepfather in X, to loud success and recognition on the other side of the Atlantic, he first spent on part -time jobs in other people's photographers, and then in a “solo career”, which began with the filming of relatives and friends and gradually published “to the pages of fashionable French magazines.

So, at the beginning of the x, the young man comes to Paris, where he first assists in different photo studios. Soon, a sign in his life is a meeting with Hans Foyrer, recognized by the time of the fashion photography. A few years later, Patrick began to slowly, but confidently appear on Elle and Marie Claire. Patrick has no education, but the summer photographer has more than more than the years of the summer.

This fact, combined with a balanced character and a good -natured disposition gives its results. By the end of the photograph, the demargeon decorated the covers of all the most fashionable and respectable fashion editions, including French, English and American Vogue. With the latter, fate connects Patrick to this day. He managed to make many portraits of legendary personalities to list them all there is no opportunity, since Demarchelia worked with everyone, but he often says in an interview the following: “Any, even the most famous model is primarily an ordinary person.

I work the same with all people, or not celebrities.

” Patrick's work is a whole series of works of the master is devoted to the topic of ballet. Here is one very eloquent commentary of the meter on this occasion: “I like people who are free in self -expression. Photography is an art of chance. And ballet too. The model can repeat the pose, PA ballerinas are always unique. The movement meets with feeling - how a random moment meets with emulsion on the photographic film.

So art is born. ” The work of a demarchelie in the nude genre looks incredibly harmonious. This is where the aesthetics of a random personnel opens in all its glory. I like it when both the face and body expresses any emotions when I see some elements of chance. A body with certain flaws is much more interesting, ”says Patrick. And his work is even more eloquent. He shot Div, princesses, queens and beautiful women in the world.

But to the question, who is his main model, Patrick Demarchelye will probably answer you: “My dog ​​is my best model. The portrait of Puffy is published in one of my books. The wife says that I did not do better a portrait in my life. He does not have a “beloved frame”, his favorite frame is still in the plane of the future. This is probably why Patrick Demarchelye does not stop and does not lose his appetite to the photograph.

I would like to believe that such a moment will never come.
