Richard Avedon at Foam
Richard Avedon was an American photographer. Avedon capitalized on his early success in fashion photography and expanded into the realm of fine art. Here are a couple of early fashion photographs he took for Harper's Bazaar (i believe). So graceful and elegant, but still playful. Amazing.
