Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon (1923-2004) rose to fame through his work in fashion photography for Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, but alongside this commercial work he became one of the world’s most renowned portrait photographers. His subjects included not only celebrities but the disadvantaged, and his approach was controversial for its particular form of hyper-realism and the questions it raises about the act of photographic portraiture.
