Plot summary
Richard Avedon was an American photographer who worked in fashion, in portraiture and in advertising, and his pictures did more than record the culture around them. The documentary follows his career and the reach of that work, treating the images as a way of looking at identity, at power, at fear and at beauty. Much of its material comes from Avedon's own archive: photographs that had not been seen before, recordings made behind the scenes, and interviews with people who knew him. He also appears in the film through archive footage. Reviewers were largely positive, and Metacritic recorded universal acclaim.
