Irving Penn (1917-2009)

Irving Penn originally intended to become a painter, however, a job to design cover photographs for Vogue magazine in the 1940′s opened up and made him consider photography. He is one of the first famous portrait photographers to use natural light and spare backgrounds which he used for most of his photographic work. He died at age 92 in his home in New York City.
