Passage, by Irving Penn

Why?

“Irving Penn is a major influence on my work. I am amazed by his ability to handle any assignment. Still life, portraiture, fashion, and personal work are all handled with an amazing eye and seemingly simple concepts. His Worlds in a Small Room series and his natural north light portraits inspired me to begin my own natural light series of musicians for the last 23 years, beginning in 1996 when the Beastie Boys put on the Tibetan Freedom Concerts. This book, Passage, is a beautiful retrospective of his career which gives the reader insight into the diversity of his work.”
