Irving Penn

Only just found out today that Irving Penn died earlier this month aged 92, Irving was one of the most influential photographers of the fashion and famous world. He had this amazing style of mixing classical elegance with minimalism with a long career at vogue his photographs were instantly recognisable for fixing his subjects to there background and never being blurred.

Obhama's People

I mentioned this earlier but I managed to visit Nadav Kander's work whilst it was exhibition at the Flower Gallery in London, thanks to a tip off by Jake Baggerley (whose Chernobyl and Blind series's are great and well worth a look). Was so great to see the work printed big and to such a high quality. the great thing about going to exhibitions is being able to see the small details that are not visible on the interenet such as the word love which is embroided on Reggie Love's Cuffs. Even though this exhibition has now finished it should be touring elsewhere for a while, around the world and blatantly back again in the UK so I really recommend seeing it. I bought the book that went with the exhibition which includes a really interesting foreword by photographic critic Francis Hodgson about the history of portraits.
