to lazy to see if it's been done, but if not, would be pretty cool.
Richard Avedon

| No interest? I might re-up for a year if they did this one... |

| Great idea as far as I'm concerned. I used to idolize Avedon. What an interesting man and interesting life. There's a quote from him that always stuck with me: "The art of seeing is the beginning of Art." |

| Would be a good learning exercise. In the name of personal photography improvement we need more kicks in the ass, so to speak, rather than silly (in my opinion) plant/animal/specific-object themes. |

You know what book(s) I'm reading that gave me this idea right Robert? ;) |

One of the two "Portraits" books, or possibly the Autobiography? |

if that's all you see when you look at his work than you are sorely missing the point |

| I predict lots of white sweeps and diffuse lighting. |

Has this ever been done? In the style of Richard Avedon?
I would suggest minimal editing but with:
1) the requirement to use 4x5 format (crop allowed)
2) the permission to add a border similar to 4x5 film negative
3) black and white conversion allowed
or just allow standard editing with the border then?

Amazingly, it has NOT been done, although I could have sworn it had been... That's certainly an omission on DPC's part, eh?
Regarding your points:
MINIMAL? Avedon was a master craftsman in the darkroom, or his assistants were anyway...
1) It's not a great idea to police dimensions so strictly. If only because no digital camera of which I'm aware shoots 4x5 as a native format. I envision voters with ill-formated screens saying "THAT'S not 4x5, no way!" and downvoting...
2) The film-like borders are legal anyway.
3) B/W conversion is always allowed in DPC, including under minimal rules (but you have to do a simple, manipulated conversion in Minimal).
SUMMARY: Standard editing with no special rules would seem to fill the bill. |
