Patrick Demarchelier is one of the world's foremost fashion photographers. He has created iconic portraits and photographed covers and campaigns for many fashion houses.
Demarchelier said that his favourite subject to photograph is his dachshund, Puffy. "When people ask me which is your favourite portrait," he adds, "they expect it to be Diana, or someone famous. But the answer is my dog, Puffy. He has no formal qualifications, instead he claims he has learned from his mistakes: "I learned most by just taking pictures; a lot of pictures. I've made plenty of mistakes, but it's often from your mistakes that you learn most. Being a photographer is like being an athlete.
