Steve Hiett, best known as a photographer with a taste for deep color and eclecticism, died at age 79.
He had been hospitalized recently due to cancer, which he’d been fighting for several years, according to his agency D+V. Hiett died in Montpellier, France, having been based in Paris for many years, although born in England in 1940. He was with his wife Louise Despointes, whom he met as a model in the late Sixties and Seventies and went on to collaborate with often.

But it was his music credentials that got him backstage at a Jimi Hendrix show in 1970 during the Isle of Wight Festival. He eventually went on to shoot other musicians of the era, like The Rolling Stones, and then worked extensively in fashion and editorial, starting with long-defunct magazines like Nova, Queen and Arthur Elgort’s Model & Manual, but also British Vogue.
“I feel fashion photography is like rock ’n’ roll, whereas art photography is classical music,” he said.
