In public Cunningham would often photograph ordinary people whose fashion he found worthy of note. Disdaining self-promotion, he never saw the feature documentary about him, Bill Cunningham New York (2010), though he did allow to photograph its opening night party. Cunningham resided in a small flat above Carnegie Hall, filed largely with filing cabinets of photographs. He died aged 87 a short time after suffering a stroke.
