Y'all may not know that legendary photographer Irving Penn died this month. He was one of the most influential fashion and portrait photographers of the 20th century. He photographed celebrities, artists, hippies, native peoples all in a simple studio environment. He believed that photographing his subject in the studio rather than in there natural environment helped the subject's true character emerge in the images. Take some time to familiarize yourself with his work.
