famed fashion photographer irving penn passed away yesterday in his manhattan home at the age of 92. throughout his career, penn photographed such notables as pablo picasso, marlene
dietrich and kate moss. a photographer ahead of his time, penn had the rare ability to capture his subjects in a simple yet dramatic fashion that caused viewers to focus on the person's expression. a long time contributor to vogue magazine, penn will be missed in the fashion world but his legacy lives on.
