"In memory of the late Mr and Mrs Comfort"
This was a 25 page spread shown in the New York Times in november 6th 1995. I certainly found it very eye catching and interesting but you can see it as quite a dark morbid set of images. I personally associate skeletons with death and creatures from hell so it automatically changes the meaning of each image for me. The bottom image where the skeleton is sitting in the toilet cubicle it looks almost if he is trying to listen to the girl. The image makes me question can the dead hear us? or we are alone but is there something the other side of a wall we just cant see.
"Avedon did not conform to the standard technique of taking fashion photographs, where models stood emotionless and seemingly indifferent to the camera. Instead, Avedon showed models full of emotion, smiling, laughing, and, many times, in action".
