Richard Avedon

Avedon was one of the first photographers I ever learned about, he is world famous and amazing, etc.

I just saw his work in a fuller context, and it's amazing. It's not just emotive portraits against white backgrounds, or ladies next to elephants. He was journalist too, among other things.


Check out his portfolios at:

Janira, I think you will be really inspired by this website.
