Fashion, celebrity photographer Irving Penn dies - Yahoo! News

He will be missed, but he will be remembered even more. One of our true legends of photography passes on.

Thanks Irving, I learned so much from your work.
Fashion, celebrity photographer Irving Penn dies - Yahoo! News:

"NEW YORK – Irving Penn, whose photographs revealed a taste for stark simplicity whether he was shooting celebrity portraits, fashion, still life or remote places of the world, died Wednesday at his Manhattan home. He was 92.

The death was announced by his photo assistant, Roger Krueger.

'He never stopped working,' said Peter MacGill, a longtime friend whose Pace-MacGill Galleries in Manhattan represented Penn's work. 'He would go back to similar subjects and never see them the same way twice.'"
