May he rest in eternal peace.
He has given the world of fashion and beyond such powerful, iconic images. It never gets any easier to see an artistic giant leave this realm.. But in that split second just before you crack a frown, you’re reminded of the creative beauty and outstanding legacy of such figures and all one can do is smile.

Herb first, then Helmut, now Irving!
We all have our time down here, and they had their time, spent on thousands of hours dedicated to photography.
Those images have a power that can stand the test of time.
Mr Penn will be truly missed…

A endless source of inspiration. Penn’s images will stand the eternal test of time. His great contribution to fashion photography has inspired countless generations of admirers. Penn’s first book in 1960 was called “Moments Preserved”, I couldn’t have thought of a better way to describe his wonderful and timeless work.
