I came across this article about Irving Penn’s work and was struck by this picture of his wife Lisa Fonssagrives. Ā His portraits of women were “perfectly, pristinely, imagined and arranged āthe representation of a mind’s eye.” Ā He would have his models stand in still poses for hours with only slight movements. Ā Then he could really capture them as something more than a person in a picture.
I also liked that he had portraits like the one of Truman Capote below.
Sometimes you depict someone by studying the person for a while and sometimes you portray someone just by capturing a moment.
Next…decor and shopping recaps!
amazing photos. i love the truman capote portrait
The portrait of Truman Capote is brilliant. Isn’t it funny…this is the first time I have ever actually laid eyes on Truman Capote – yet I’ve devoured his writing many times! š
I like the one of truman capote too. have a wonderful weekend.
