Daniel Boudinet

Thumb_boudinet-jpg

There is no love, no affectedness, not even sensuality in the work of Daniel Boudinet. This secret young man, as handsome as he was sensitive, always kept feelings at a distance, whether they were good or bad. He threw himself into photography in 1968, the year of rupture. From the first he mistrusted...

Norman Eales

Thumb_eales-jpg

I had noted the name Norman Eales on credit lines for over 20 years but never met him. His well-made fashion work appeared in countless magazines-Queen, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and the rest. It was only last September that I learned the details of this photographer's life, at the vernissage...

Bill Connors

Thumb_connors-jpg

I was just a kid when Bill Connors first photographed me for a Glamour magazine cover in the late l960s. We developed a special personal relationship that lasted until his recent death. He took me under his wing and cared for me and loved me as a person; it's important for a young model ...

Ray Petri

Thumb_petri-jpg

Ray was a really great, kind man. I was a part of a little group that included photographers Jamie Morgan and Mark Lebon and singer Neneh Cherry, and we'd all go to him whenever we had a problem-he was like our uncle. As a fashion stylist he was ahead of his time: He brought street style and what he called ...

At the end of the l970s, when Hervé Guibert was just a young man discovering the public interest in photography, he already wanted to be a great writer. His very personal chronicles in the daily newspaper Le Monde were written with remarkable precision. He had already published books, like his first wo...

Barry McKinley

Thumb_mckinley-jpg

GQ hired Barry to do many shoots during the time I was associate art director there. Barry was always a complete perfectionist and was usually very difficult to get along with. But when we'd return home and look at the pictures, they would be so beautiful that we would always book him again.Barry was b...

Joe Macdonald and I met in the mid-1970s, a heady time for photography. He had just begun collecting seriously. He was a wonderfully good-looking man who achieved astonishing success as a model in Paris and had recently moved to New York to broaden his career. We lived near each other, ...

Jack Boulton

Even among the brightest art-world luminaries. Jack Boulton's mixture of up-to-date information, boundless energy, and diplomatic charm was impressive. In the l970s he began curating shows at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati that featured the most topical and challenging new-ge...

Bill King

Why is Bill King memorable to me? If you'd known Bill, you'd know why.He was one of the best photographers I ever worked with; he brought to his work professionalism and creativity, and always his own inimitable style. I have yet to meet a photographer who can put energy and sophistication ...

Bernard Pierre Wolff

Thumb_wolff-jpg

At first glance, the photography of Bernard Pierre Wolff seems to be in the tradition of postwar photojournalism. Like the Magnum photographers, and Henri Cartier-Bresson in particular, Wolff always felt that the talent of the photographer was to impose a latent order on that rea...
