Blog Prompt #8

“My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.” ~Richard Avedon.

I like this statement because it captures the true motives of a photographer. The point for most photographers is to capture a certain moment or to prove a point, which doesnt always mean that the subject in the photo is flattered by the image. For most photographers those being photographed are props, merely used to demonstrate a deeper meaning.
