Richard Avedon’s name and his photos used to be a synonym to the glossy, fashion photography. Celebrities dreamt of appearing in the focus of his camera because it was paramount for the heroes of the magazine’s gossip pages. Avedon called his photo technique a reductionism – cutting off any tinsel and all non-essential elements in his art; his manner – “brevity of the perfectionist,”; and his gaze was compared <\/span>to a bolt of lightning. His works are familiar to you, even if you do not remember the name of their creator: black and white gamma, a minimum of unnecessary details in the frame – only people.<\/span><\/p>\n Richard Avedon had a talent to turn people into “symbols of themselves.” He photographed many of his famous contemporaries (politicians like Dwight Eisenhower and Hillary Clinton, artists like Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol, celebrities like Charlie Chaplin and Bjork). Avedon never hesitated to focus his camera on ordinary people too. He traveled from ocean to ocean to make portraits of unknown fishermen and miners, waitresses, and truckers.<\/span><\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0Stolen moments in photos of Henri Cartier-Bresson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n His works are a dialogue with the model, the viewer, with himself. “My portraits are more about me than about subjects of my photography.” Not everyone liked his unusual and passionate approach to filming, but he certainly did not leave anyone indifferent. So who was he, the “creator of celebrities,” with whom an entire era in the history of fashion photography is connected? Let’s take a look at the early period of Richard Avedon’s life, starting with his Harper’s Bazaar appearance till the late 50s.<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes even rain helped Richard Avedon to make the great photos.<\/p><\/div>\n Childhood in style<\/b><\/p>\n Richard Avedon was destined to connect his life with fashion and style. He was born in New York, where his father had a women’s clothing store on Fifth Avenue. Young Richard spent a lot of time while leafing fashion prints like Harper’s Bazaar or Vogue. “I started photographing when I was a teenager. My first model was my little sister, and I’ve tried to copy the beautiful photos from the glossy magazines made by Steichen, Munkachi, and Maine Ray. Louise was amazing with perfect skin, beautiful long neck, and such bottomless brown eyes \u2026 Later, when I worked for real with Doreen Leith, Eliza Daniels, Audrey Hepburn, their dark hair and eyes reminded me of Louise.”<\/span><\/p>\n
