Reminiscent of Richard Avedon

In 1955, Richard Avedon photographed singer Marion Anderson. I learned about Avedon during Studio & Lighting, and I immediately liked his high-contrast, black & white photos done against a plain, white background.

Last night T was grooving to the music mix on WBLS during our photo shoot, and I captured this image of her. I like it, because it captures a bit of her playful side, and because it reminds me of a Richard Avedon photograph.

T, to the music


Taken with a Canon 5D against a white, seamless background, using an off-camera flash and shoot-through umbrella. Post-processing done in Lightroom 2.
