    He puts a lot of thought into his work, and that should be highly appreciated. He is by far my favorite!

    Easily the best in my view. He has a fabulous range and variety. The pictures don't appear 'contrived' as in some works.

    The man was a groundbreaker when it came to fashion photography, and his name is the most famous among all British photographers. Apart from all that, he must have something special about him to have attracted all those beautiful women!

    I was fascinated with his pictures. His work shows a different type of variety, not just focusing on one idea. He has everything you are looking for!

    His photos will be my inspiration.

    The first of his photography I saw was of Dali. After that, when I checked out the name of the photographer, it was Philippe Halsman.

    Anyone who has actually been trained in the art of photography knows that Irving Penn is the man. Irving Penn understood how to take simple ideas and transcend those ideas so that the viewer could also make them their own.

    Too many photographers these days are gimmicky. Not Irving Penn. He used line, form, and composition to make compelling images that remain timeless to this very day.
