Richard Avedon

This time I decided to post some pictures taken by a really inspiring Fashion Photographer,

Richard Avedon. 

• Born in New York in 1983 
• At the age of 17 he started taking personnel identification pictures 
• 1944, he found a job as a photographer in a department store
• Initially, Avedon made his living primarily through work in advertising
• Staff photographer for harper's bazaar and later for vogue
• Avedon became well known for his stylistically innovative fashion work
• Avedon's portraits: photographs confront us with miners, unemployed
  people, drifters, farmers, cowboys, and convicts, often at life-size or over

‘if a day goes by without my doing something related to

photography, it’s as though I’ve neglected something

essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to

wake up,’ he said in 1970.
