Richard Avedon is the reason why I decided to pursue a career in photography.

He is everything I apsire to be in a photographer.

This Is Richard Avedon:

And This is His Work:


Natassia Kinski and the Serpent	Marian Anderson
Andy Warhol	Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra

the is a picture Richard Avedon took during his time as a fashion photographer. It is a black and white picture. There is a woman holding an umbrella, wearing gloves and a coat and what looks like a small hat. She is walking down the street, and you can see a old fashioned building in the background and one lonely car, both are blurred out. She appears to be about to cross the street, but as she is stepping down from the sidewalk. It looks like she is leaping with such gracious from the sidewalk to the street.

This is another photographer from Avedon's fashion photography. The model is standing perfectly on her tippy toes, she is leaning in a sort of C form. She looks very graceful yet almost whimsical. This is another black and white photograph

Natassia Kinski and the Serpent

This is a fashion shot. The model is Natassia Kinski. It was taken in 1981. It is a Black and White shot. She is laying naked on the floor wearing only a snake and a bracelet.

Marian Anderson

This is a portrait of Marian Anderson, taken in 1955. She is an African American singer. In the picture her hair is being slightly blown on the side of her face. She has her eyes closed and her mouth looks like it is forming an "O".

Andy Warhol

This is a portrait of Andy Warhol. You dont see his face, but you see his many scars on his chest. He appears to be wearing a leather jacket, and his black shirt is pulled up. He has one hand covering his navel

Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra

This is a Portrait of Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando. In the picture, they both are looking to the right, and they are both smiling. I love this picture because they both look really handsom in their suits and hats. Also both of them have a cigar in their hand.

*The background is a deep purple mist, I picked it because I like the color and the misty feel.
