“You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ~Ansel Adams
This quote reminds me of what Richard Avedon was trying to say. It is up to the photographer what he wants the photo to say. The entire scene, set up, pose, and lighting is of his or her choosing, so technically they 'make' the photo what they want. They also choose who sees it and what captions they want to add. Whatever changes the photographer makes is what influences what the photo says.
