Explore and Experience the Photos of Richard Avedon on Your iPad

Voor de liefhebbers van Avedon is dit zeker een aanrader. Heel gemakkelijk en vooral heel overzichtelijk. Ik wou dat ze dit deden voor alle grote fotografen.

“The app is a simple and elegant way to explore the Avedon archive, view his photographs, and understand his process. It’s organized into major areas that the photographer focused on: fashion, portraiture, and reportage.”

Fashion Photography Is the Art World’s Rising Star

Mocht je nog niet weten welke uw specialiteit is of gaat worden …

“Today, fashion photography is art’s rising star, drawing large crowds to exhibitions (which produce much-needed revenue from sponsorships, rentals and even merchandise) and enticing more collectors. Even the fashion industry itself is showing more respect for the form.”
