Richard Avedon

I had already posted a link about one of my favourite photographers : Richard Avedon. Actually, one can see similarities between his work and Annie Leibovitz's. Both of them experiences a two sided work. On the one hand, they photographed celebrities, the rich and famous of the world and on the other hand, they were for some time, war photographers. Moreover, they are both portrait driven photographers. However, I feel that the glamour, the style is more moving in Avedon's work than on Leibovitz'. Even if it was not art for art sake, the process was maybe not so part of a promotional campaign and of an industrial process...
