In Love with mr. Avedon

Quanto mais leio sobre Richard Avedon e busco material sobre ele e o trabalho dele, mais me apaixono! Meu TCC é sobre ele e me encontro num momento bloqueada e oprimida. As informações que encontrei , os textos depoimentos, documentários me fazem sentir pequena, sem vocabulário, quase analfabeta. Tudo bem, a forma como todo esse conteúdo vem tocando meu interno e inspirando meu mundinho interior faz tudo isso valer a pena e a cada dia me encontro mais apaixonada por Mr. Avedon!

Acabei de assistir pela milhonésima vez o documentário Darkness and Light e é impressionante como cada vez que assisto algo diferente me salta aos olhos , aos ouvidos, ao coração!

Vou copiar aqui algo que ele diz e que cala minha boca ou qualquer pretensão de querer desdobrar ou "dizer melhor" essa frase.

Enjoy e inspirem-se !

Love,

Alice

" In visual terms there has been nothing like photography in the history of the world. There's no vocabulary for it. It has nothing to do with painting, it literally stops something dead. It's the death of the moment. The second a picture is taken that life is held and stopped and over. That moment is over. It's part of the melancholy, part of the beauty of what is a photograph, and the thing that has happened to me lately in this sense is that I didn't take the photographs, that they have a life of their own. It's endlessly mysterious to me. " - Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon - sou fã!

Richard Avedon ... SEMPRE ele !
Eu aqui montand meu trabalho pra disciplina de Produção e Análise Gráfica fiquei viajando nas fotos e em algumas frases famosas dele.
Resolvi dividir aqui !



*A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.

* A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he's being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks. He's implicated in what's happening, and he has a certain real power over the result.

* A portrait photographer depends upon another person to complete his picture. The subject imagined, which in a sense is me, must be discovered in someone else willing to take part in a fiction he cannot possibly know about.

A minha preferida de todas eu preciso repetir aqui:

* If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up.

"No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit." Ansel Adams
