Irving Penn

These are some pictures of the flowers series.The composition's are utterly unique as well as the colour.Flowers are given a sense of identity and delicateness.Penn also photographs still life and found objects in unusual arrangements with great detail and clarity.






Irving Penn has spent many years doing fashion photography for vogue magazine.He was among the first photographers to pose subjects against a simple grey or white backdrop and used this simplicity more effectively than other photographers. Expanding his austere studio surroundings, Penn constructed a set of upright angled backdrops, to form a stark, acute corner. Posing his subjects within this tight, unorthodox space, Penn brought an unprecedented sense of drama to his portraits, driving the viewer's focus onto the person and their expression.
