The Maestro of Fashion Photography
































The international Center of Photography is celebrating the works of Richard Avedon as part of the ICP's year of fashion. "Avedon fashion 1944-2000" will be on view through September 6th. I have always been a huge fan of Richard Avedon's photography....my favorites are the black and whites and I love the way that he captures models in playful poses. He left behind a wonderful legacy that goes unmatched. Following is a "sampling" of his work.
