Richard Avedon brief.

Richard Avedon was an American based photographer normally famous for his outstanding fashion photography works; his fashion photos had been celebrated and used for Life, Vougue, and Harper's Bazaar, etc. Avedon was described as the person whose photographs represent the American images of beauty and style for half of a century. 



Avedon often captured his model in a special motion; it could be exact moment or position as his model was posing; that way the photographs that came out were usually dramatic because of the model's motion and the way of composing in the frame. 




His portrait photographs were also extremely expressive in a wide range from celebrities to his acquaintances and ordinary beings; his objective contains from public figures and politicians to celebrities like Marilyn Monroe in his work body, as he self claimed that he was always a portrait photographer. 

 The composition of the entire piece was outstanding without a doubt, but what really makes the difference would be the way of how Avedon position the model in each of his photographs; no matter it is a portrait scape or a fashion cover shot, the art of human form
always stands out and provides an incredible sense of emotion; dramatic, humorous, sometimes scary, emphasizing the dynamic of the picture.
