Irving Penn, Fashion Photographer, Is Dead at 92

A brilliant obituary here

I had only recently seen an exhibition of Penn's wonderful still life photographs at the Hamiltons Gallery. There are so many amazing iconic images I could have chosen, but I love the quiet stillness of his still life images. Genius.

What a beautiful photograph. I love the stillness and sense of surrender it evokes.
I enjoyed poking through your blog!
