inspire #1 Irving Penn

Irving Penn. - Nadja Auermann 1994

I chose this picture as it caught my attention out off all of Penn's pictures. Irving Penn uses the B&W effect which creates not only depth but it's very easy to read emotion through the photographers work. I especially focused on the amount of depth in her eyes as It's like she's staring straight at me through the picture and you can see the emotions are genuine. I also love the faded background which is an opposing effect learnt in lesson as the background fades black to white and the face contrasts and fades the opposite direction. Also after taking out more research I found the woman in the photo is a German model so not only is this a beautiful image but a beautiful woman.
