Audrey Hepburn pictures (countless people photographed Hepburn's romantic innocence)

Richard Avedon (1923 May 15) was born in New York, USA, and died on June 10, 2004. He is a real new york, his father is a Russian Jew, and he owns a boutique on Fifth Avenue. In high school, he and his high school classmate James? Baldwin edited a literary tabloid. At that time, his ideal was to become a poet. Later, he served in the navy and was sent to take photos of other people's documents. After taking thousands of photos, he found his own career direction.

"I must have taken hundreds of confused faces, and then I suddenly realized that I was a photographer." Avidon said.

This is also the beginning of his contact with photography. Because of this, Avidon once said, "The accident that I became a photographer filled my life with possibilities. At that time, I'm afraid Avidon has discovered the secret of portrait photography, that is, there are rich stories and secrets hidden under countless ordinary faces. This is more thrilling than being a romantic poet.

During 1955, Avidon took a series of black and white pictures for the evening dress of a famous fashion brand "Domima and Elephant". The elephant with rough skin is in sharp contrast with the slim and fashionable female model, which has brought great impact on people's vision and established his position in fashion photography.

1957, his masterpiece Coat was born and appeared in many photography textbooks.

1959, for Susie? Parker's swimsuit photo was praised as "promoting the bikini trend". 」

It was an innovative movement at that time, because the models in fashion photos were all stiff at that time, but Averton injected emotion and movement into the models, photographed the moment when the models smiled outdoors, and set off a revolution in photography.

In fact, Avidon is not only a photographer, but also a dance director and a drama director (Avidon has been interested in drama all his life).

Avidon believes that when women concentrate on something, such as walking or staring in the mirror, they will become beautiful. Therefore, his fashion blockbusters have the feeling of a movie scene, full of full emotions and strength.

Fashion has never been Avidon's interest in photography. His interest lies in people, and he attaches great importance to the relationship between photographers and subjects. In his view, the important thing in taking pictures is his interest in the subjects, and there should be stories between them.

Therefore, portrait photography is Avidon's favorite. His best practice is to put the characters in front of a blank background and capture their unknown essence with a lens.

Even Audrey Hepburn, under the lens of Avidon, released many faces. Ordinary women are fragile and have everything except the elegance in their bones and the playfulness of the goddess.

It is said that this is Audrey? My favorite photo is Hepburn, leaning against the window and looking out of the window, fragile and sad. Countless people envy her beauty, and only Avidon captures the lonely moment of her soul.

Referring to photography skills, Avidon said: "I started with a series of' don't', no exquisite lighting, no superficial composition, no posing, no telling things. These "don't" forced me to become "want". I want a white background, I want people I am interested in, and I want what happened between us. 」

Avidon once said, "All the photos are accurate, but none of them are true." Probably the most authentic interpretation of the characters under his lens.

Avidon said: "I am looking for amazing, heartbreaking or beautiful people;" Beauty may scare you until you admit that it is a part of yourself. 」

199 9, Avidon published the photo collection1960s. Is the cover photo of the book Avidon or John? A portrait taken by Lennon because of Andy? Warhol became very famous after post-processing, with strong yellow, purple and red coloring, leaving only the outline of Lennon's head and iconic glasses.

In this book, you won't see the hustle and bustle of new york's literary and art circles in the 1960s.

"Portrait is not copied. When emotions or facts are transformed into photos, they are not facts, but opinions. Averton, an American portrait photographer, took this as his aim, sublimated fashion photography into art, and used portrait photography to show the charm of celebrities and ordinary people, thus winning the reputation of "the most famous photographer in the world".
