Richard Avedon was a famous American photographer born in 1923 in New York. He is known for his fashion and portrait photography, which he began in 1942. Avedon won many awards over his career, including the Prix Nadar in 1994 for his photobook Evidence. His photos were usually in black and white but sometimes in color, and often depicted his subjects in curious or amusing situations. The document discusses Avedon's life and career, and shares favorite photos from four individuals - one showing elephants dancing with a woman, another of singer Marian Anderson, a third of Judy Garland smelling roses, and a final one depicting actress Ethel Merman looking very surprised.
