On the left: a Richard Avedon portrait (circa 1975). On the right: a Ross Haflin portrait (circa early 2000s).
Some could say that anyone could do this, but from what I get, Haflin only does this when he’s doing some serious portrait work. He does a lot of concert photography, which is in color and has a lot of movement, but when he takes a calm pic, they often look like this.
Someone has been influenced….but there’s nothing wrong with that. :)
Now it’s easy to see why I like Avedon so much…I already liked calm portraits in high contrast black and white.
