Richard Avedon

 



Richard Avedon

    Richard Avedon is a photographer who mostly shot American Fashion and Portraits. In 1944, Richard got his first gig with Harper's Bazaar which is a fashion magazine. Then in 1946, Richard opened up his own studio to shoot for magazines like Vogue and Life magazines. After all of that he went on to be the chief editor for Harper's Bazaar. He also was the lead photographer at Vogue until Anna Wintour became chief editor in 1973. He has done so many shoots with many people and companies like Colgate, Calvin Klein, Revlon and many more. 

He is known for minimalistic portraits which is the style I like. I think all his photos have meaning or reason behind them but the way he takes them makes them look so minimalistic. I really am fascinated with the man with bees picture because obviously it takes a lot of courage to take that picture but at the same time to keep calm so you do not get stung. He has a unique mind for his pictures and that's what I want to try to keep in mind while doing this project.

  Still Life Krista has a very unique style for still-life photography with the colors she uses in the photos to be able to express ideas in the photos. She shoots a lot of foods and has layered aspects in the photos. She has unique ideas in her photos. I inserted a photo below to describe why this still life has attracted me. This photo is unique because of the colors in this still-life photo. It makes me wonder how she didn't have too much flash in the mirrors if she used gels or a purple background. I would like to mimic this weird style because it's an interesting photo to look at. Krista has many more unique photos that fit into this style because she is always about color and what will attract people to like her photos and want more.

Arnold Newman

  Arnold Newman  Arnold Newman's photography style appeals to me because of the lighting and the facial expressions in the photos that have been the most popular with his work. After exploring some of the photos this is the photo that caught my attention because they remind me of my style of photo taking.  I love this photo because I love the way you can interpret this in many different ways. I have an attachment to looking at photos of humans with emotions because I have struggled with different things that have happened in my life so being able to see pictures or even take pictures of human emotions to display what I feel in pictures is a good way for me to deal with many of my battles.  I know this picture was probably not probably not supposed to be interpreted the way I interpreted it but I think it is important to see how every human is different in how they perceive things.  I will be mirroring Arnold Newman's style for this upcoming project.

  Sebastian Salgado  Sebastian Salgado is a Brazilian photographer who focuses on images that portray humans in desperate economic situations. Sebastians work shows what it is like and have a stronger understanding of social and economic situations in the world.  After exploring his work I found this image I really like. This image is abandoned babies and it is very prevalent in society today because many children are orphan in the world and many that need homes and families to love them. Sebastian bring light to these matters and shows the world what is happening because we need to bring more awareness.
