Portrait Photography: Richard Avedon

I had looked at Avedon's work last year. I'm not massively into celebrity but i understand its place in our modern society. He does have way of keeping his work looking very simple and quite natural for most of the part which i like. You could argue that black and white portraiture is of a time but at the same time still is very relevant and a good way to act as a leveler to take away the distractions of current fashions  and give a more timeless classic finish to the portrait.
