The photographer moved to New Zealand’s Bay of Islands in the 1980s and devoted much of his time to photographing the landscapes and communities in the region.
His ability to immortalise moments and capture the souls of his subjects made him a renowned figure in the world of photography. One of his most iconic works, Lost in a Dream – a tender portrait of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg in 1969 – has been praised as one of the most beautiful photographs of the couple ever taken.
English author Valerie Mendes wrote about Frank in Metropolis magazine in 1969: “London without her people would be dead indeed. Habicht finds not the clothes but the men and women who wear them; not the places, but those who live and work within the city. In the contrasting textures of skin and water, trees and hair, soft body curves against metal and stone, he traces an intricate pattern of London’s heart and its restlessness.
“You don’t need expensive gear to take memorable photographs. To be honest, I hardly knew how to use studio lights and always preferred shooting with natural light, especially on my London rooftop,” he said.My father was deeply guided by the Sioux Native American quote, “With all beings and all things, we shall be as relatives,” a philosophy that shaped his perspective in both life and art.
