Clarity, composition, careful arrangement of objects or people, form, and the use of light characterize Penn's work. Penn worked for many years doing fashion photography for Vogue magazine founding his own studio in 1953. He was among the first photographers to pose subjects against a simple grey or white backdrop and used this simplicity more effectively than other photographers. Irving Penn died aged 92 on 7th October 2009, at his home in Manhattan.
