#FromTheArchives Before Richard Avedon, fashion photography was relegated mostly to static studio imagery that treated models like mannequins. But taking inspiration from Hungarian-born photojournalist Martin Munkácsi, he strived to capture what he referred to as the “fourth dimension” of the people he photographed—their spirit and humanity, the energy of them living in the world. With this intention, Avedon produced the iconic image of a then-26-year-old Carmen Dell’Orefice suspended mid-leap over a puddle on a cobblestone Paris street corner, a variation on one that appeared in the September 1957 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. “Real people move,” Avedon said. “They bear with them the element of time.”
