Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon was one of the most influential fashion photographers in history; Marylin Monroe, Twiggy and Andy Warhol are just some of the legendary talents that Avedon worked with. His photography allowed the onlooker to see the raw emotions and humanity behind the clothing - capturing moments that some would consider to be unworthy of recognition was what he aimed to show. Political undertones were also a key feature in his work in addition to bringing an authentic feeling to the world of fashion photography.
