Irving Penn

"I can get obsessed by anything if I look at it long enough. That's the curse of being a photography." 

-Irving Penn

Irving Penn is one of my favorite photographers because he can find the beauty where others can't. Photography is about capturing what captivates you and that is why Penn was a great photographer. He is the most inspirational because he was one of the first photographers to be considered in the category of surrealism.

Irving Penn inspires me to look at the world from all perspectives and encourages me to try black and white photography.

I'm so glad I was able to take the time and experience Irving Penn's work at the Dallas Museum of Art where the exhibit, "Beyond Beauty", will continue until the end of July.
