Richard Avedon Reflection

The Richard Avedon documentary was very eye-opening on his point of view of how he does photography. It was unique hearing him talk about how he had to tap into his emotions in many cases as some sort of technique. In many ways I can see how using your own fragility, sensitivity and other emotional aspects of your self to take a photo. For example, maybe you spot some random individual struggling while you have your camera and want to take a photo. You don't just take a picture of that person and leave because then there's no emotion or tone tied to it. This made me think about how I can take pictures in the future because in some moments I may want to go into my emotional side to capture whatever moment may occur.
