Richard Avedon
Style
Introduced an emotional complexity
new to fashion photography.
A plain, white background became his trademark.
Light illuminates every pore and flaw of the
subject's face, turning wrinkles into crevices.
His savage vision seems to be directed not at the subjects
but at vanity and hypocrisy in general.
Photographs of his father, 1969-1973, have been admired for their humanity
as they trace his father's losing battle against incurable cancer.

Helmut Newton
Publications
Helmut Newton
Style
Helmut Newton's work sympathized with the movement of the surrealists.
Inspired by novels of Chandler and Spillane, of which he was a great admirer.
His aesthetic was branded 'porno chic,‗ and outraged many feminists.
He portrayed Amazonian women who live, sleep and breathe in immaculate make-up,
heavy jewelry and vicious stiletto heels.
Men in his photos typically appear in servile roles, as waiters, chauffeurs or onlookers.
Often depicts people from the margins of society engaged in fetish driven meetings with
the social elite, surrounded by sumptuous hotels and ancient midnight streets, all of them
saturated with decadence, luxury, and privilege.
Often features elements of violence (or the implied threat of danger) .

standing by his new car
(a Hudson) on a clear day.
I got him and the car.

peeing on a fence,
and a row of potted tuberous begonias
on the porch
and 78 trees
and a million pebbles in the driveway
and more.

Lee Friedlander
Style
Known for dense and often visually witty black and white
streetscape views of the American scene.
Characteristically filled with layers, shadows and reflections.
He loves the haphazard multitude of things that can pop up
in every picture — street signs, sunbeams, bits of roofline,
a jagged shadow — all colliding and contradicting one another.
The foregrounds are washed out by flash, the figures are cut off by the edge of the
picture, the odd foot that pokes into the frame — like Jimi Hendrix, turning the "error" of
amplifier feedback into another kind of guitar riff…
His pictures, with their lyrical congestion, don't resolve into a single meaning.
They have a dozen. Not one of them is the last word.

Freeman Patterson
Style
Freeman‘s work ranges from documentary to impressionistic,
he is eager to move and adapt
Resonates with themes inherent in the natural world
Divides his time between instructing others and his own photograhy
Very metaphysical, reverent outlook on visual design and photography – very aware of
how the sub-conscious and conscious relates to an artists‘ efforts
Loves to explore impressionism, texture, abstraction, light and shadow – it‘s about
rendering a 3D world into a unique 2D expression
Probably most famous for his impressionistic styles – arguably an extension of the
Group of Seven into photography

―She doesn‘t tear down, she builds up.
Skillful Richard Avedon was,
comparatively, a sadist…
he liked to tear the psychic skin
from the faces of his subjects.
When he sat for Annie Liebovitz
he was 79, and sickly
and understandably afraid.
‗Don‘t worry.‘ she said.‖
