Richard Abaddon

Richard Avedon did a lot of portrait shots but his type of portrait shots had a unique style. Most of his pictures were black and white. His unique style consisted of having the pictures look more artistic rather then just someone posing in a picture. He tried to mix in fashion, art and photography all into one picture and did so. His pictures always looked gloomy or someone always being serious. Avedon believed that a serious looking picture brought out the picture more. I found that pictures had a lot of meaning in them. He liked to have a political or other types of meaning in his pictures.
