I agree exactly this would be a great two page to a superb photographer who died unexpectedly and left so much good photography for the deviantART community he was well liked at deviantART headquarters in Los Angeles as well

You mean Francois Benveniste passed away. If so, I just learned it on your post. A great photographer who gave a lot to Deviatart.

by the way his Instagram is still active they didn't take it down with the last comments being 311 weeks ago

yes that was about to 2016 or 17 honestly a lot of people knew him personally @JohnPeri here at Da , Mike Helms who used to be #PelicanH , before he come and get tired of da in administrative problems and he left but yes there for some sad deaths and Francoise as know was an excellent photographer

...Its sad to realize that one of the most respected artists on DA have passed away...!


...The reference to "Mike Helms who used to be #PelicanH"...its extremely invaluable for me...

because, from all his pictures saved on the old HDD...only one resisted (which I intend to post it with due credits...although, Its hard to find and ask Mike for his permission. So far, as I know he...."disappeared"...on the..."empire of the sun" namely...Japan).

...Sorry for bringing issues not related to Francois Benveniste ...which was a real inspiration in everything related to photography...and way beyond it.Regards!
