Richard Avedon

IMPACT

Richard Avedon is thought to be one of the most influential photographers of the 20th

Century. Not only has he taken definitive portraits of the cultural

and political leaders of the last fifty years, his work focuses on subjects such as fashion, the

Civil Rights movement, and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

HOMAGE

I decided to homage Richard Avedon because I find his shots to be interesting and I enjoy capturing portraits of people. Within my project I incorporated poses that Avedon

himself have had his models execute.
