“My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.” ~Richard Avedon.
This is a very interesting statement by Richard Avedon, because even though you are capturing an image of another person, you, the photographer are affecting how its going to pan out in terms of mood, composition, expression, and so much more. The photographer is considered an artist so no matter what the subject may be living or dead, it is the photographers to capture and present to the viewing public. All photographs are initially for the photographers eyes so i believe he has complete ownership and part of themselves invested into their photos.
