It was Cunningham’s beliefs about fashion, devotion to photography and life philosophy that made him so great.
7 Cunningham's passion for photography lasted throughout his life. He was 87 when he passed away, and had been working right up until his last illness. Nothing ever stopped him from getting the photo he wanted. His hard work made him more than a fashion photographer - he was a“cultural anthropologist", who we can thank for recording the life of a whole city and its people over half a century. Bill Cunningham was an observer, and not one of the observed, a worker not a star - and this was how he wanted it.
