(2/12: Richard Avedon) Mercenary

Ok, this is my attemp. I try to imitate Avedon's style in "In the American West" series. I hadn't white background so I needed to degradate the backgorund with Photoshop (I can figure Avedon didn't use this technique :P).

My brother, a former soldier of the army of Spain, is the subject here. My idea about armies and warfare is not very kind, so I tried a shot that shows us a mercenary, a man who fights for money, not for pride or honor, a practical tool of war without scruples.

 

This is my modest tribute to Avedon. I wish you enjoy it!
