Photographer: Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon is an American fashion and portrait photographer. He was from New York and started getting into photography when he was 12 years of age. He was from a jewish family and his father was a Russian native who moved to New York before Richard was born. Richard passed away in 2004 at the age of 81. His claim to fame was when the New York times said “his fashion and portrait photographs helped define American image of style, beauty and culture for the last half century.” This quote really proves itself to be true when you see his work, it stands out that his eye for style really did influence a lot of the trends we used to see.

For my action shot is going to be volleyball players training for a sand volleyball tournament that is coming up. The school has nice sand volleyball courts on campus so preferably when they have practice and the weather is nice. I am really worried that i will have a nice angle, lighting and picture but that i won't be able to capture it as clearly as I want to. I'll try various settings on the camera to try and get it right. For the overall I want to get a shot of the entire game, while the medium I want to get one person being the focus but also have the other players in the background. For my closeup I want to get a shot of somebody hitting the ball or approaching a spike because I feel that is the slam dunk or home run equivalent but in volleyball.

Nico Wolff 5/3/19 Week 5 Blog forum Lindsey Addario has had some extreme adventures shooting in Afghanistan, I thought that some of the experiences she had such as being captured were very intense and really made me question whether or not it was all worth it. Is being a photographer of a meaningful event, giving people that do not have a voice a fair representation, as well as informing people around the world about a crisis really worth it? For her, I can see why it is, despite having fear and maybe a lot of second guesses about letting her work dominate her personal life, but also make her put a comfortable life she had in the United States aside. To me, this is an extremely high level of devotion, it really capsulate what it means to be great at something in my opinion. Some of the lessons I can learn from Addario is how good a job she does by really being discrete, just a fly on the wall that people don't notice as she photographs them. I see that she really gave up years o...
