This is black & white image

Patrick Demarcheller was born near paris in 1943 to a modest family,he spent his childhood in Le Havre with his mother and four brothers.In 1975,he went to New York where he discovered fashion photography by working as a freelance phtographer and learning and working with photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson,Terry King and Jacque Guilbert.He Later worked for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar,first in september 1992 which resulted in a 12-year collaboration.The black white photo on the left is of Alyssa Nicole Pallett. She's 
sitting on a chair facing the light that enhances her hair and facial features against the dark background and clothing. 

This photo is of Sasha Pivovarova. She's not really the main focus of the photo as their are lots of different focus points.This photograph stands out as its in colour and its bright.Patrick Demarchelier captures the sophisticated look and side of Sasha.Her eyes are fixed on one thing.

   Patrick Demarchelier photographed Shannan click for Allure on March 1-2,2009 at Paris Studio,Studio H&I,in Miami with stylist Siobahn Bonnouvrier .This is a side view of Shannan which shows her dress flowing very nicely and the dress is blown by a wind machine and her eyes are looking downwards.This photograph has solid colours.All the action's on the surface right now as structured clothes get shimmery.




                                                                                                                                                        

These photos use a stark,semi lighted white background,which seems so refreshingly minmalist in the season of colours and busy prints.My favourites are the white and black pictures where model Alana Zimmer portrays an eccentric diva.The black hat sitting on top of the crazy hairdo(spotted on the runway at Moschino).
