"Allowing someone to take a picture of you means a certain degree of openness and trust, which I do not have. For a long time, the camera was for me a means of sadness and depression, "- once said the famous Anglo-French photographer Keith Barry, daughter of the composer John Barry and actress Jane Birkin.
And despite the fact that she is no longer with us, she still remembers the world of fashion, music and cinema.
She was the photographer who was trusted by the most ambitious celebrities. The highlight of all her photographs were simple and at the same time complex, natural portraits of actresses and amazing landscapes, the beauty of which is able to play on the soul strings of even the thickest skinned people.
Her work was magnificent. No wonder she was shooting for Vogue, Elle, Paris Match, Le Figaro Madame and many other glosses. Moreover, Keith Barry was not only a photographer in several films, but also removed the cover of her debut album by Carla Brownie called Quelqu'un m'a dit.
But along with genius, in the life of a talented photographer there was a lot of place for drug addiction and depression. "The camera lens is my main medicine," the woman confessed with a sad smile in an interview. But, unfortunately, these demons were stronger than Kate, and on December 11, 2013, 46-year-old Kate jumped out of the window. She left behind a considerable photographic heritage, which we have the opportunity to admire to this day.
