Thanks LAM for the heads-up re the Christy book! "Supermodel Christy Turlington, who Markus photographed many times at far-flung locations around the world, describes Markus as “a perfectionist—so much time, care, and intelligent thought goes into every image. He subscribes to the idea that you don’t rush things that are special.” Turlington and Markus traveled to Madagascar and climbed Kenya’s Mt. Kilimanjaro, among other shared adventures. “Even though he was one of the very best photographers in the fashion world, to call him a fashion photographer wouldn’t be quite accurate,” she says. Turlington described a session with Markus as “a study in craft,” in which photographer and subject are creative co-conspirators. “He sees the space, the angles, the composition, the possibilities. His mind is always going. But there is a quiet curiosity and a sense of respect that encourages you to be free and allows surprises to happen.” Turlington and Markus have created a book called “Christy” which will be published the end of this year. With sadness Kurt will not be able to see his final book."

I LOVE this photo shoot!

Yes, now that you say it, I think you're right. That does look like Heather Stewart Whyte. I always wondered if that image was falsely attributed to Christy.

The nude photo on the right is an enigma to me. Does anyone know who took this photo or when or where? It doesn't seem to be associated with any other photos of Christy. I've wondered if it's even authentic. I've never seen this photo in good quality (though the B&W version isn't bad). I've done work on the image trying to make it more presentable looking. Does anyone out there know anything about it? Unfortunately, though the nude pic is attributed to Christy, it is not Christy. I've tried to delete the photo, but I can't.
