Avedon’s work style, in my opinion, is about capturing the moment and movement. He doesn’t show a simple photo with no meaning. He shows photos with a lot of expressions. Like other photographers, Avedon had an assistant named Jonathan Mannion.

Mannion’s photograph has almost the same feel as Avedon’s work but in a different way. For example  Jay Z photograph. This photo besides that it is in black and white like Avedon’s work, it looks totally different and more modernized. The main key to this photo is the face (expressions). Without this almost angry face, it wouldn’t be same. I also think that the clothing in this photo makes Jay Z look more familiar to the 1900s, making this photo to look more like Avedon’s style.

Are there other ways in which he uses what he learned from Avedon? And the answer is yes. Mannion’s work shows a lot of movement in his work like Avedon but they have their own style.
