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

I don't really know how to respond to this because in my mind a photograph is about both the photographer and the subject. Yes, the photographer chooses the subject and how they are portrayed but the subject is still there. I guess it goes back to the intent of the photographer. For him, if his portraits are more about him, then we should see him in each one, his point of view. And since it is the point of view that makes us all unique I can see where he is coming from...if he is saying that it is his point view that is more important than the people in this photography. I don't know though, the people are still there.
