About Patrick Demarchelier
Patrick Demarchelier, born in 1943 near Paris, grew up with four brothers and his mother in Le Havre. For his seventeenth birthday, his stepfather bought him a Kodak camera which sparked his enthusiams for photography. An apriori vague passion for the photographic profession evolved into setting a clear objective for his professional future.
His curiosity and the desire for perfecting his photographic abilities made him move to Paris when he was twenty years old.
While working in photo laboratories, he began perusing leading fashion magazines to study the visual language and aesthetics of prestigious photographers. Subsequently, Demarchelier advanced to one of the world’s most famous fashion photographers. His relocation to New York in 1975 accompanied his international breakthrough.
Since the late 1970s, reputable fashion magazines like Elle, Glamour, GQ, Mademoiselle, Vogue and Rolling Stone have been publishing his works.
Furthermore, Patrick Demarchelier has been working for prestigious international couture and jewelry houses, including Armani, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Dior, Versace or Yves Saint Laurent.
The British Royal Family honored him especially when commissioning him, as the first non-british photographer, to portray a member of their family – Lady Diana.
Patrick Demarchelier works and lives with his wife and three sons, among them Victor, in New York.
Victor Demarchelier
Victor is born and raised in New York and is the youngest son of Patrick Demarchelier.

In this decade Victor Demarchelier was able to pursue the successful path of his father in a new generation.
Inspired by his father but with his own aesthetics Victor Demarchelier now works for magazines such as Vogue, Interview, GQ, Harper's Bazaar and V Magazine.
