Photographer Laura Wilson worked with Avedon during the six years he was making "In the American West". In "Avedon at Work", she presents a unique photographic record of his creation of this masterwork - the first time a major photographer has been documented in great depth over an extended period of time. She combines images she made during the photographic sessions with entries from her journal to show Avedon's working methods, his choice of subjects, his creative process, and even his experiments and failures. Also included are a number of Avedon's finished portraits, as well as his own comments and letters from some of the subjects.
Acclaimed for his portraits of people and women of great beauty, Richard Avedon was one of the 20th century's greatest photographers - but perhaps not the most obvious choice to create a portrait of ordinary people of the American West. This work shows Avedon's working methods, choice of subjects, creative process, and experiments and failures.
