Angelique, Portrait 2

Irving Penn

The Irving Penn Foundation. (n.d.). https://irvingpenn.org/

In this self-portrait, Irving Penn uses a cracked mirror as a reflective surface. This demonstrates his innovative and artistic approach to the medium, which is both visually engaging and thought-provoking. The cracks in the mirror create a visually intriguing and abstract pattern, adding depth and complexity to the self-portrait. The distorted reflection also adds an element of mystery and introspection to the image. I chose this image because I felt like it showcases his creativity and is a lot more interesting than a typical self-portrait.
