The photography world, and especially the Fashion and Street Photography fields lost an icon yesterday. We lost Bill Cunningham do to complications from a stroke. He was 87 years old. For those who know who Bill Cunningham is, he was a mainstay in the New York photography world. He worked for the New York Times for decades as a photographer, mostly covering the fashion scene. He was also famous for riding and walking the streets of "Midtown" Manhattan looking and photographing any individuals who had a personal fashion style that he found interesting. It became an honour to photographed by him, and even more if he published those pictures in his Times column.
Mr Cunningham was the subject of a 2010 documentary called Bill Cunningham New York. This was how I discovered him, through that documentary. He quickly became a favourite photographer of mine. He will be missed by fans worldwide!
