Nov 30, 2004 · Some of Avedon's signature style is in the lighting, but some happens in the printing. Study the catchlights in the eyes to get a sense of the lighting. As Ellis said, it varies. If you have access to back issues of the New Yorker over the last few years, there are a lot of great, more recent Avedon photos in there.
Jul 30, 1999 · On page 81 of that issue an article. regarding Avedon's technique states, "For 8 x 10 work, which is done. with either a 360 mm f/6.8 Schneider Symmar-S or a 360 mm f/6.3.

Jun 26, 2007 · Both Diane Arbus and Richard Avedon greatly influenced each other's photography through the time of her death. It is also more than a little arguable that Arbus was a better printer. Godfrey: "I cannot imagine making 17,000 8x10 inch exposures and processing them all."

Jun 8, 2010 · Richard Avedon also seemed to do fine with a Rollei too ;)</p> </blockquote> <p>Yeah, the key there is "Richard Avedon", not "Rollei", or even TLRs. To paraphrase a famous quote: "I knew (not) Richard Avedon. I served (not) with Richard Avedon, Richard Avedon was (not) a friend of mine. Chuk, I am no Richard Avedon."
Apr 20, 2004 · I disagree that Avedon picked "ugly" people for his "West" photos. His usual approach was to find subjects with attractive faces but with clothing and grooming that went in the opposite direction -- the old "diamond in the rough" thing, which starts to look a little formulaic after awhile.
Mar 2, 2005 · Using the same film as Avedon gets you as "closer" to his results as Dunlop gets me to Palmer. Immeasuably closer. Of all the ingredients in Avedon's results the LEAST significant is the film he used.If I used Avedon's studio, film, lens and his camera my results would not match his. If he used MY film, studio and camera his results would be ...
Sep 22, 1997 · I read that Richard Avedon's favors his 80 mm planar for almost all of his photography. It, the 80 mm Planar, happens to sit on a Rolleiflex though (a whole bunch of preloaded Rolleiflexes, to be more accurate). For us ambivalent creatures who cannot decide which film to use for the next 12 frames it's a blessing with the H-Blad film backs.
