French war photographer Marie-Laure de Decker has passed away aged 75, her family has confirmed.
“If you’re a woman, you’re never taken seriously,” she says. But also spoke of some silver linings: “There is an advantage to being a woman, as was the case in South Africa — they don’t kill you right away, they give you a chance.”
Later in her career, De Decker joined the Gamma photo agency which ended in a legal dispute over the rights to her photos. The agency refused to cede copyright to the digital version of her photos. De Decker took them to court but lost. De Decker went on to take photos of high-profile figures, something she did to fund her trips to conflict zones.
“When you take photos of the poor, no one’s interested. You have to take photos of the rich to sell ,” she said.
