Here are 4 self portraits by Richard Avedon, plus a 3 minute video where he talks about making a famous photograph. He refers to this particular example as "Photography Hell." I think it would be fun to try to reproduce his images for my own self portrait. Someone mentioned the idea - I think it's a good one.

Hi Ladies, well I finally found my way here.. not even sure how or if I will be able to find my way back. Anyway, I shot my first new self portrait continuing my project on The Chores, the Reluctance, and My Grandmother's Apron. I have some idea's brewing. February is going to be a busy month with a Laurie Klein workshop so I hope to get 3 images out by the 16th.. if not, for sure March. But here is my first one. Best to all, Karin
Finally finding my way here. I love all of these Carol. What an amazing imagination and ability to things together with amazing results. Very very impressive.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these too, but especially the third photo. The light in the third image (where your head is down) is just wonderful - your dark shirt separating your hands and hair from the room is perfect and the contrast of the right angles of the furniture to your hair and hands is striking!
