Irving Penn
PHOTOSNACK #661
Irving Penn has always fascinated me with how he could turn something as simple as a cigarette butt or a corner of fabric into pure poetry — his eye for elegance in the ordinary feels almost magical. If you care about photography that’s timeless, thoughtful, and impossibly refined, you really should spend some time with his work.
Until next time,
Tomasz
Mr Penn was a true master in practice. There were no shortcuts when he created a photograph.
Wildly inventive and thought provoking. One of the best portrait photographers of the 20th century.
