lexposure.netLike Father Like Son: Victor Demarchelier Exhibits His Pictures
by Liz McGrath posted on March 02, 2009
Its nice to see when a son or daughter decide to follow in their parents footsteps, not because they have to, but because they really want to. Thats the case when it comes to Victor, the son of legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier. It cant be easy to follow on from one so great, but young victor obviously isn’t daunted, and judging by the show that he put on last night in the new Cooper Square event space ‘MINA’ in New York, this kid has got some serious skills himself. Since graduating in 2006, Victor has been employed by his father, working daily in the studio and learning as much as he can. At MINA, Victor exhibited a mixture of work: fashion stories; portraits of his girlfriend the model Caroline Trentini; personal projects including still lifes and studies; snapshots from a trip to India and even a portrait of his father. His favorite piece is a photograph of teddybear that was given to him by his grandmother upon birth. The bear is called Nalla, which is Swedish for teddy bear; he calls the picture “Self-Portrait.” Victor wasnt alone in the ‘famous offspring’ category last night – his friend Alexandra Richards was also there, exhibiting her artwork – and yes she is the daughter of Keith Richards from The Rolling Stars – obviously these kids have creativity in their blood!
