About this video

THIS VIDEO:
During a career of nearly nearly sixty years, Richard Avedon managed to blur the lines between different genres of photography as he delved into fashion, reportage and portraiture. He covered an enormous breadth of subject matter. He broke the stiff formal mode of fashion photography and created images that were alive and reflected the mood of the times. He also helped to cement photography’s status as a legitimate contemporary art form.
You can recognize an Avedon photograph when you see it. In his portraiture he managed to produce a stripped down aesthetic that draws the viewer towards the subject’s expression.

ABOUT ME: The conversations focus on topics related to different aspects of photography including: art, documentary and photojournalism. The discussions explore the personal experiences of photographers and artists and how their work reflects both their internal and external landscape. During the past 30 years I have photographed in over 50 countries for magazines including National Geographic, Time, New York Times and Newsweek. I have held solo exhibitions in New York, London and Paris and my work is showcased in private and institutional art collections around the world.
