Rarely do you see such an in-depth tribute to one we’ve lost. Here are the pieces posted by La Lettre today in honor of Göksin Sipahioglu…
La Lettre
On Wednesday morning, photography became an orphan. Göksin Sipahioglu passed away at the American Hospital in Neuilly. He was an explorer, mentor, the ‘papa’ of photography, friend, and adviser to a number of impressive photogaphers, including Abbas, Barthélémy, Patrick Chauvel, Marc Charuel, Françoise Demulder, Catherine Leroy, Thomas Haley, Jean-François Leroy, Lasky, Reza, Manoucher, Yan Morvan, Alain Mingam, Alfred Yaghobzadeh, Alexandra Boulat, Olivier Jobard and Facelly, to name but a few.
Today we pay him homage. We are sharing work from his early years as a photographer along with tributes from his friends.
