Irving Penn (16 June 1917 - 7 Oct 2009)

























In the same way that countless photographers and style-makers have been inspired by Irving Penn's iconic fashion photography, I was most inspired by his images of food, whether it was an immaculately manicured, bejewelled hand clutching a bloody steak or a more painterly composition like the one above. As well as having a nack for capturing the spirit and individuality of the model or the moment he also proved his point that 'photographing a cake can be art'.
