This week I am feauturng Richard Avedon as a photographer that inspires me. As an assistant I would regularly go with Joel Benjamin to photograph the collection of the JFK Library and Museum. At their storage facility is a huge Avedon print of Jackie Kennedy that measures something like 8 feet by 10 feet. So damn cool.
I am very inspired by his American West series. This crisp large format black and whites shot on white of regular plain old hard working Americans. So well done. Makes me want to bust out the 4x5 and hit the road.
So thank you Mr. Avedon for creating such inspiring work!
