The photographs he has produced have become documents of our era, from his portraits of native peoples of Peru, New Guinea, and Morocco to those of actors, artists, politicians and writers from his sharply rendered fashion editorials to evanescent nudes from skilful still lifes of street trash to gravity-defying still lifes of Clinique cosmetics.

He began his career as a graphic artist, and in the mid 1940s went to work at Vogue, where Alexander Liberman was art director. ![]() One of the most important photographers of this century, Irving Penn has excelled in many different genres, producing a body of work that has had a major impact on fashion, portraiture, nudes, still life, advertising, and ethnographic photography.
