Where are you going in Sweden?ĭEMARCHELIER: We’re going to the north. Barts for a trip to work for a few days, then I’m finished. After that, I’m going back to New York for one day and then to St. KEIRA KNIGHTLEY: Hey, Patrick! How are you? Like the Devil‘s do-gooder assistant, she’s got Patrick. Here, she tries to decode Demarchelier, getting the photographer to look at his life through the lens. In November she will appear alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in the WWII drama The Imitation Game, about the Enigma-code-breaking machine. The Duchess (2008) star Keira Knightley knows a little something about onscreen royalty. Destabilizing an elaborately staged fashion editorial or a portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales, for whom he was the official photographer, with a spark of spontaneity, Demarchelier creates a kind of verve, a frisson that has made him a legend, and his name a byword for fashion royalty-the very first thing Miranda Priestly wants to know of her hopeless new assistant in The Devil Wears Prada is “Did Demarchelier confirm?”
After assisting the likes of Hans Feurer, the young Demarchelier struck out on his own, moved to New York, and developed his now signature, striking style of fashion photography. Patrick Demarchelier was born outside of Paris in 1943, and any movie about his life would necessarily include the poignant scene of his stepfather giving the self-professed troublemaker an Eastman Kodak camera for his 17th birthday.
I like to be spontaneous and get a shot before the subject thinks too much about it.
