Remembering legendary photographer and adventurer, Peter Beard.
after his disappearance, his family emphasized that he be remembered as “an extraordinary artist, an insatiable traveler, a hero of the conservation movement, a lover of life, of Africa, of adventure, of his family and friends.”
The writer Bob Colacello once described him as “half Tarzan, half Bryon,” an original in every sense of the word. His body of work constitutes an elaborate record of an extraordinary life, spent between New York, where his exploits had been closely followed by the tabloids since his Studio 54 days, and Africa, where he dedicated himself to documenting the plight of wildlife threatened by big-game hunters and environmental degradation.
, The Rolling Stones, Grace Jones and Francis Bacon are equally memorable, showing the cultural icons dressed down and relaxing by the beach in Montauk, as are his shoots for, many of which took place at Hog Ranch, his compound in Kenya. He discovered the supermodel Iman while walking down a street in Nairobi, telling a modeling agent she had been herding cattle in the fields when, in fact, she was a university student and the daughter of a diplomat.
In an Instagram post today, Iman shared a slideshow of Beard's photographs set to music."I met Peter in Nairobi in 1975 and as destiny would have it we were forever intertwined," she wrote in the caption."He did discover, photographed and molded me in a way as I have never been photographed before or knew anything about modeling and have never seen a fashion magazine."
