![]() ![]() ![]() His influence over photography is undeniable, and to do it justice is to understand the immense skill and consideration given to it in realizing his vision. His images encase a feeling that almost can’t be put into words, an unexplainable sense that the viewer is given a look at a private moment of sensuous exposure. Avedon’s ability to capture a moment in time as well as a formal image, uniting natural impulse with calculated restraint, is the hallmark of his work. The imagination of the sitter struggles against that of the photographer, engaging in conflict up until the shutter clicks.Īvedon recognized this tension, explored it, and mastered a technique, which produces portraits that exhibit layers of exposed feeling. ![]() His portraits explore the relationship between sitter and photographer, and the dichotomy between the sitter’s displayed emotions and those hidden-only allowing the portraitist a glimpse of their entire self. Richard Avedon was born in New York in 1923, and ushered forth a new and distinct style of photography, distinguished by minimalism, emotion, movement, and spontaneity. None of them are truth.” –Richard Avedon, In the American West There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. ![]()
