I was kindly recommended I look at the work of Irving Penn yesterday by a friend who is on the same course as me at university. For one of our current projects we are looking at portraiture. I haven chosen for this unit to photograph the natural form to create nude portraits. As you can imagine, it is important to have relevant research for this project, to show you are understanding similar works and even relating to them. So I was pleasantly surprised when i took a look at Penn's nude portraiture work. It's beautiful to look at provides me with some further inspiration for my own work. His work predominantly looks at the representation of the female form. This is something I am also keen to represent in my own work.
