RICHARD AVEDON    PHOTOGRAPHY         
                                                 Richard Avedon is an American photographer known for his influence on not only fashion and portrait photography but fashion and style on a whole in NYCI have chosen to explore Richard Avedon as he is such an influential portrait photographer who inspired our photographers of today, therefore by looking at Avedon I can see how newer photographer such as the likes of Rankin have been influenced themselves. To the left is an image of four photographs of 'The Beatles' placed in a form of grid, this is sourced from an Avedon archive online and when first looking the grid reminded me of a style of pop art.
The images are very simplistic as every member of 'The Beatles' are wearing black and all have a similar hair colour making all four photographs go together well.
The photograph is quite serious due to their facial expressions and I feel that the black clothing contributes to the serious feel.
