Penn, Irving

Penn, Irving
(n. 16 jun. 1917, Plainfield, N.J., EE.UU.).

Fotógrafo estadounidense. Aspiraba a ser pintor, pero a los 26 años de edad tomó un trabajo como diseñador de portadas fotográficas para Vogue y muy pronto se estableció como fotógrafo de modas. Sus austeras imágenes de moda transmitían elegancia y lujo producto del refinamiento de su composición y la claridad de la línea más que por el uso de elaborados elementos externos y telones de fondo. Amplió sus actividades hacia el retrato tras la segunda guerra mundial y fue muy admirado como retratista de celebridades. En sus retratos el sujeto suele posar delante de un desnudo telón de fondo y es fotografiado con luz natural de la aurora. Las imágenes resultantes son simples y directas y con gran sofisticación formal.
