Melissa Harris, the editor in chief at Aperture, who edited two books with Ms. Mark and was a close friend, described her as “a force of nature” who pushed herself despite her illness. She described Ms. Mark as someone who cared deeply about people and calling attention to injustice. That meant going back often to her subjects, in order to delve deeply into their lives, relying on that connection to give her work a humane touch.
Mark, who died on Monday, was fierce in her love of photography, and her love extended to the people she worked with.

Her love extended to the people she worked with: to her staff, her subjects, her students, and the other photographers in her life. Loyalty was one of her essential qualities. Once she embraced a person, that person became a part of her life

Like the rest of the photography community, I’m very saddened to hear of her death today. I didn’t know her personally, but she has always been one of my favorite photographers. And her kindness and complete lack of pretension is something that has always stuck with me and something that I will always remember when I look at her work. RIP MEM.

The work of true artists resembles the artists themselves—sometimes to the very end. This is what we’re telling ourselves once again today upon hearing the news of the premature death of Lars Tunjbjörk at the age of 59.
Michel vanden Eeckhoudt presented the world as a set of jokes, gags, both in the working world and in the street. One child wears a mask. Another is seen in a burst of sunlight. And the owner of a dog on a leash seems pursued by a menacing shadow. But the smile they bring to one’s face—he had a keen eye that could anticipate situations and capture without flourish or effect. Michel immerse us in a world that cannot work. Better to smile, even if we’re still thinking about it deep down.
Michel vanden Eeckhoudt, 1947-2015. Today is truly a bitter day.
