Richard Avedon Quote

“A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. They are all accurate. None of them is the truth.”

Avedon, R.1985. In the American West - Richard Avedon Photographs 1979-1984. London. Thames & Hudson
