During the 1970s and 1980s, Puhlmann was the top photographer for Harper's Bazaar, Michele Mazzola, the magazine's former special projects editor, said. Richard Sinnott, a fashion editor for Harper's Bazaar, recalled doing a shoot with Puhlmann and Gabrielle Reece in 115-degree temperatures in the deserts outside of Las Vegas. "We draped wet towels all over our heads," Sinnott said. "I did more than fifty shots with him, and I always looked forward to working with him." He did maybe half the covers in any given year, Mazzola said. "He was knowledgeable about everything, from flowers to fashion to photography. He was a real Renaissance man." "He was probably one of the top photographers of the time," said Sinnott. Puhlmann is survived by two brothers, Klaus and Heinz Puhlmann, both of Berlin.
