ANTOINE Ferrier, the noted photographer, died on Sunday - his 75th birthday - after a short illness at the Princess Margaret Hospital.
He was described yesterday by Bahamas Press Club President Anthony Newbold as a professional and a gentleman who brought honour to the profession of journalism and mass communications.
Mr Ferrier captured the very essence of the Bahamian way of life, news and official events and portraits over the decades. Born in Gonaives, Haiti, in 1941, he pursued and completed his formal education in Port-au-Prince. In April, 1965, Ferrier relocated to the Bahamas, where he established a life-long career in photography.
He opened his studio “Photography By Antoine” in 1965 on Wulff Road, Nassau, and embraced the arts, generally, having a great passion and love for portrait photography.
Mr Ferrier is survived by his wife, Leona Ferrier (nee Sylven), daughter Robyn Ferrier-Rahming and four grandchildren.
