Didier Lefevre, 1957-2007 Didier Lefevre, the famed photographer known to comics fans as the subject and co-author of the successful Le Photographe series, died following a heart attack in his home in Morangis, France. Dupuis confirmed the shocking news with an official statement of regret and sadness from Robert Baert.
Lefevre was a globe-trotting photographer who in a distinguished career took pictures for various magazines and newspapers from places like Sri Lanka and Kampuchea, and was known in part for his care in depicting the non-dramatic members of such communities. A selection of his photos can be accessed here. A friendship with Emmanuel Guibert led to the award-winning comic series by the pair and Frederic Lemercier based on Lefevre's experiences with Medecins Sans Frontieres in Afghanistan. The comics albums included Lefevre's photos as part of their artistic presentation. The third volume in the series was just named one of the Festival Essentials at Angouleme, and Lefevre was on hand to accept the honor, thanking the doctors whose efforts he felt were the heart of the story.
