4.0 out of 5 stars Photographing The World, August 18, 2005
By 
This review is from: Worlds in a Small Room (Hardcover)
Irving Penn takes us on a journey while he photographs the people of the world. Using a portable studio in remote locations, Irving Penn is able to capture cultures like the Kirdi of Cameroon, Nepal, Morocco, Dahomey, Crete and New Guinea. He also captured the people of New York, Paris, London, San Franscisco, and Cuzco. Irving Penn describes the different locations he visits and his most memorable experiences. Penn not only shows his passion as a photographer but as a Human being while adapting to different cultures around the world as he photographs them.
The photographs in the book are astonishing. All of the photographs are lit with natural light and are shot in a studio. Penn captures the essence of culture in his photographs. The diverse people in the images allow you to see the different types of cultures that exist around the world.
