Legs and Borders

Can't say i find huge inspiration in Avedon's work, but i definitely respect him as a photographer and for the impact he had on fashion photography. He kind of reminds me the main character from Blowup by Antonioni, heh. Very successful, innovative in the fields he specialized and knows exactly what his weaknesses are. Recommended watch - Richard Avedon - Darkness and Light  (its quite irritating at the beginning, very 'american' way of movie-making, but once Avedon walks in and starts talking it gets much better). That's probably his best known photography: Bee Man, 1994 And my two favourite celebrity shots: Nastasjja Kinsky and the Serpent, 1981 [originally in colour] Charlie Chaplin - His Last Day in America, 1952 There's some really interesting stories behind both of those images, apparently Kinsky was fascinated with snakes and she was posing for that picture for hours until it finally kissed her, Chaplin (as the title of t...

Photographer standing behind Die Antwoords - I Fink U Freeky video and this is how i found out about him.. Born in New York, living in Johannesburg, he is focusing on documenting small dorps and villages of rural South Africa. I strongly recommend watching small series of him talking about his photography, he pays attention to so much detail! You can find it here . One of his quotes from the lecture: "Real is probably the most difficult word we deal with." There's a lot of human / animal correlations and references in his work which i really like. That's probably his most famous photography: Dresie and Casie, Twins 1993 Tommy, Samson and a Mask, 2000 Portrait of a Sleeping Girl, 2000 Eugene on the Phone, 2000 Sickroom, 2000 Scavenging, 2004 Puppy Between Feet, 1999
