1. Richard Avedon American 1923-2004?Avedon was the epitome of the modern photographer – a charming, sophisticated man-about-town and a photographer who was able to
cross photographic genres. It did not matter where he was, which format he chose to work with or who his subject was, the image would be an Avedon image. It would have
that unmistakeable elegance and confidence that marked him out, not just as a great photographer but as a highly successful commercial photographer, who was able to
create instantly iconic and memorable images. So what’s his influence? His large-format portrait style with the stark white background, his use of two images to tell
one portrait story, his use of strobe lights in fashion, the book In The American West? Of course it’s all this and more.Avedon is a photographer whom every

commercial photography over the last half of the twentieth century. www.richardavedon.com
