World-famous photographer Richard Avedon captured movie stars and presidents, to soldiers and the homeless.
While mostly known for his fashion work, his striking photos made him a true artist.
Now, Avedon, a new documentary from director Ron Howard, traces the life and legacy of the artist.
When asked why he wanted to direct a documentary on Richard Avedon, Ron Howard explained:
“I’ve always been drawn to stories that help us better understand remarkable people,” Howard says. “Richard Avedon was an artist whose work continues to resonate not only because of the extraordinary images he created, but because of the humanity and curiosity behind them. At Imagine Documentaries, that’s exactly the kind of story we strive to tell, and this film gave us an extraordinary opportunity to explore Avedon’s legacy through an unparalleled archive and the voices of those who knew him best.”
