Inspired by Richard Avedon

For an assignment in my photography class we were to use our favorite photographer as inspiration to create a similar image. 
After shuffling through a few favorite artists I decided to go with Richard Avedon. 
Richard Avedon is known for his skilled variety of portraits from high fashion photography to mental hospital patients, he has a touch that brings out everyones personality and beauty.
For my shoot I used my favorite model, my husband. Isn't he so handsome?
I did a mixture of Avedon's works by having him dressed in high fashion but used the white background Avedon used when he traveled the West and captured various people in their own environments.

This was the photograph I turned in. Avedon was known for leaving the black film around the edge, so I found in appropriate to recreate that as well.
