THE EYE TRAVELS TO THE SLEEVE
HARPER'S BAZAAR OCTOBER 1949
“I had worked with Dick Avedon only on advertisements, not fashion editorial, but I liked his style. Instead of using the “still life” approach, which meant asking a model to strike a pose and freeze, he kept her moving, sometimes moving around her himself with his camera in his hands, keeping up a conversation, explaining what he wanted her to feel and portray, always telling her how well she was doing, making her feel she was the most beautiful creature on earth.”

“Dick had such a pleasant disposition and such a good sense of humour that working with him was always fun. Yet underneath the laughter and good times was a seriously creative man.”

“Every photographer had his own highly identifiable approach toward taking pictures of women wearing beautiful clothes, but Dick’s work was so unique that it not only changed the whole concept of fashion photography, but also the appearance of fashion magazines and even the types of girls who became models. Dick wanted his models to look like real people wearing real clothes; he wanted real expressions on their faces and genuine reactions to their surroundings. Of course, the girls were more beautiful and the settings more idyllic than most real-life situations, but that was the point. An Avedon photograph was just real enough to make a fashion-minded woman feel she could look the way the model did.”
