Literature:
Indeed; as seen in his portraits whether of famed movie stars or everyday people the challenge for Avedon was conveying the essence of his subjects. His iconic images were usually taken on an 8 x 10 inch camera in his studio with a plain white background and strobe lighting; creating his signature minimalist style. Avedon viewed the making and production of photographs as a performance similar to literature and drama; creating portraits that are simultaneously intensely clear; yet deeply mysterious.
