After browsing through a Richard Avedon photography website, it made me think, can an "ethngoraphic" study be staged? Or is it suddenly not considered ethnographic? As well can photographs such as Richard Avedon's be a type of ethnography? Avedon, well known for portraits, takes shots from people of the everday to celebrity status. Can this be a look into a day in the life of these people in front of the camera? Is it revealing about the people in any way, or is it simply art?
