Avedon

Last week my novio and I were able to visit the Avedon fashion photograph exhibit at the local institute of art. I thought the photos were interesting and classic. Mr. Avedon worked for many magazines like Vogue, the New Yorker, and Harper's Bazzar. He started his career at the ripe age of 23. I enjoyed his early work but by the 1990s and early 2000's his work began to look less classic ..maybe it was the lack of black and white photos. The black and white effect brings something great to photos. I also think this because the photos have more nudity and are more morbid. He has his models pose with skeletons..I do like that those photos kind of tell a story but it's not my style. The model on the far right is Donyale Luna, a Detroit native! Overall the pics are glamorous and depict beautiful clothing through different time periods.
