i describe his style to be a little bland. i think this, because there is no real pop effect. he uses a lot of soft lighting. the poses are repetitive, and there is no true mood.
A.Johnson p.1
I think that his style is very interesting!! It's kind of quirky, and I love that! His lighting is kind of soft, and the greyscale makes it seem really raw. The mood I can't quite put my finger on! It seems sort of silly, but also kind of serious. I don't know. But I like it.
A Gonzalez P.1
His style is very unique. It's very weird but interesting at the same time. The lighting is perfect and right on the object. The poses are really really weird and not normal. The mood is serious and on point.
S. Matheson Period. 1
The lighting in most of the pictures compliment the classic B&W style of the photos. Also, the poses in the photographs can be abnormal, and as well as relaxed. As for the mood, the mood of the photos seem to be eerie, yet at the same time dramatic.
J.Richardson P.1
It's just his creativity and its unique. He can say he does his won work and it shows that he can call it his own work and not someone else. Being that he does that kind of stuff its funny because you dont see that everyday.
H.Cooper Per.1
He uses soft lighting in his photographs. The mood is gloomy and morose because it's all in black and white and none of the models are smiling. The poses are elegant, but not very unique. Most pictures don't even have the person's full body in them.
K.Kolsut Period.1
I don't like the mood in my opinion but the lighting is pretty good. It seems sorta boring and the poses are weird. I would describe it as an older type of art and I thought it was boring.
His style is a different one he just captures the picture how it is. The lighting of the pictures is really good the way he captured the pictures make the lighting great. The pose that the photographer make them do is a good strong natural form. The mood of the pictures are happy/sad moods.
A.Deeds P.1
I don't like the mood in my opinion but the lighting is pretty good. It seems sorta boring and the poses are weird. I would describe it as an older type of art and I thought it was boring.
D. Riley P.1
Well his style is one of a kind.. I like what he's trying to do but at the same time it's hard to not be grossed out by the naked people. His lighting was very delicate and I feel like he did a good job. The poses are the best part in my opinion because he chooses different positions that bring a different side to the photo itself. The mood isn't depressing or dark, it actually had a light feeling to it and a sense of seriousness.
M.Christensen p.1
This style is kinda old school and not really like other photos when women are naked because these ones dont have perfect bodies like nowadays. The lighting is kinda dark and not really spot lighting anything, the poses are almost uncomfortable, and not really a everyday pose. and the mood is awkward.
T. Horne P1
I think he uses a lot of soft lighting. A lot of the poses are the same. The mood seems to be very serious to me. -A. Haunschild Per. 1
I would describe his style as odd I guess, it's like his mood is almost depressing or something. The lighting would be like based on what their pose was. Everything is in black and white so I guess the lighting wouldn't matter as much.
S.Quintanilla. Per 1
i would describe his style as very unique and a little weird. He sets the MOOD by being on point and serious, LIGHTING by having it direct and on a focal point, the POSE was interesting and the best part of the photos because it was different then what most people use for their photographs
Most of the lighting in these pictures is dark and like in black and white. The mood in these pictures is really different, but in a cool way. The poses are also different. You wouldn't see lots of people doing those types of poses.
B. Watson Period:1
After looking at his photos, i would describe them as different. I like how he sents up the background different and and how he does a lot of his work in back and white.
K.Derschmidt P.1
The lighting in his work is mostly black and white. This makes the mood feel old and have no emotions. Pretty much all of the poses are sitting or standing and are kinda boring and plain.
M.Orton P1
His style has a classic mood due to the fact that his pictures are from the 40's. The lighting in his studio photos set a serious mood that complements the poses of the models. I like his style because it's very classic and timeless.
I would describe Irving Penn's work very mature . The lighting for the pictures was controlled very well. The pictures didn't seem like they required a pose except for some nude ones and some close-ups, the rest looked like free posing. The mood for these pictures seems sad yet reminds us what it means to be human, so sad in a good way.
J.Rosales P.1
Irving Penn's lighting is very spotlighty, all of the lighting seems to be coming from overhead. The poses, if there are models, are very dramatic, everyone looks like they're just going through normal life. The mood is dramatic as well, no one seems to be paying attention to the camera.
T. Losness, Period 1
It is kinda dark but still ok pictures and still respectable but not something i would do or wanna be apart of. The lighting is good but nothing special. maybe to dark.
G.Joers
Period 1
his style is classical. Some of the works he does are nice but i've seen others i like more. His photos are just boring to me for some reason.
T. Hess P.1
His style has a classic mood due to the fact that his pictures are from the 40's. The lighting in his studio photos set a serious mood that complements the poses of the models. I like his style because it's very classic and timeless.
M. Silva P.1
It is dark but still alright pictures and are still respectable but not something i would do or wanna be apart of. The lighting is good exept nothing special. might be to dark.
The LIGHTING in Penn's work is very dim. In my opinion this could create a romantic or old-time MOOD. His models are very POSED. I can't decide whether or not I like his work. Some of it is awesome, like the header photo you posted, but some of his stuff is too weird for my taste.
J. Smothers period: 1
his style is interesting and quirky! All of his photos are really dim, which makes them unique. Im not sure if i like his work, because the models are fakery posed, they don't look realistic.
E.Zitzelberger P.1
His style is kinda boring, creepy, and weird. The way he poses people are really boring. His lighting is practically all the same. Lastly his is mood is bland.
I think his style is kinda gloomy and bland. His pictures dont really have something that pops about them. The mood is stiff and uncomfortable. The lighting is nice. The poses look a little awkward to me.
A.Champ p.1.
His style is kinda old fashion photography I feel like. I dont think I like this type of photography. The lighting and everything is cool, but the pictures and everything are weird.
T.Fryett P.2
These photos are a little bland, not much to them. The lighting, Poses, and Mood is all very dark. The poses are a little weird. The lighting is not really light. More dark feeling.
T.Beard Per.2
His style is really strange. In all of his pictures the lighting seems kind of faint. The poses are just weird. The mood seems like he is like depressed or something just weird photography.
K. Nagel P.2
His style is very... unique. His style is creative, i guess! His pictures are very much different than other photographers.. It's disturbing even if i'm acting like an "adult."
M.Preston P.2
I would describe his style as sophisticated and mature. Although, I dont really like his work. Some of it is not what Im interested in at all. The lighting is pretty cool, however the poses are quite interesting. The moody is kinda serious.
G. Williams P.2
His style is taking photos of people in different poses, always serious poses. Then he adds different lightings to either make it darker or lighter more sinister or kinder. But the Mood you will always notice he can display the mood extremely well.
Ian M-W
Period 2
His photos are a little bland. It's weird but kinda interesting at the same time. I like how the lighting is right on the subject. The poses are edgy and a little awkward.
S Lovell
P 2
This photographer is interesting. THe lighting looks soft. The pose actually looks natural. The pictures look like the people are trapped, but they look happy.
K.Seibold P.2
I would describe his style as dark. It is really creepy kinda since it is so dark. I don't really like his style it is to dark and I feel like I am going to be attacked.
His style is different. I don't like it but maybe other people might? The lighting was very bright. The poses were kind of gross. And the mood was awkward.
A.boland P.2
I didn't really care for his style, it was very bland. His lighting is soft and this creates a mood that is very serious. The poses are also really awkward to me.
B.Ennis Period 2

D.Jansen P.2 I don't know if I will ever remember to put my name on these.
Well, i was a little disturbed with the naked pictures. But other then that i liked his work, it was black and white and looking old.
M. Melhus P. 2
His style is very dark or very abstract. There are alot of shadows and dark lighting. The mood is very disturbing or maybe even pretty. Nikole kruger prd 2
I think his pictures sare very interesting. His lighting is good its right on the peoples faces. Their poses are normal mostly just standing there with attitude on their faces. The mood seems dark but unique.
K.Morello P.2
I think that this style is awkward. I don't like the pictures of naked women. I think that it is gross and in-mature. I think the mood of the picture is posed. I think the lighting is so bright. I think that I don't like this type of style.
A.Willis P.2
I would describe this art work by kinda old fashion and art work. They are very nice photos and I like them a lot. I would rate it a 8 of 10
T.Fischer Period 2
The pictures here are very bland. And i dont the real meaning of what hes doing. The lighting isnt quite right, its too dark...
A.Lindberg P.2
It would be interesting to know when he was born, then think in depth on what was considered norm and not norm in that time. It seems that he relies on lighting the most, then he uses that lighting to display the mood.
J, Meier
Per 2
I would describe his work as strange his lighting, poses, and mood are really weird. And a little disturbing. I just really don't like his style.
A.Thomson
P.2
This album is more of a tasteful nudity and are more of artistic. He likes the dull and dark lighting.
a. sprague period 2
His work is very interesting. His lighting really brings out what he wants, and his poses are either standard, or very eccentric. The mood of the photo really seems to depend on which photo it is.
M McClure P. 2
He is very fascinated by the human body. He likes to use soft lighting to bring out the warm colors. His photos seem to send a comforting mood or almost happy mood. He to pose the models either standing up or lying down.
A.Herberger P.2
I think that his style is mostly the same he does not have a very big variety. His lighting is the same a soft lighting. He also does a lot of the same moods and poses.
S.Snyder P.3
He likes to use very soft lighting, to bring out the dark, calm, colors. He likes his models to be standing up, or lying down. The mood of his photos are calm, and dark.
M Cordill. Per 3
I would describe his style as old fashioned and unique. I think he uses studio lighting. He also used very simple poses, and the mood is a calm and normal mood.
R.Simmons
Period 3
His style is light and doesn't really get very dark. He tends to a spotlight in his portraits. I enjoy the spotlighting because your eyes are drawn to the main object of the photo.
E. Angier P.3
I would describe his style as capturing the true moment of the certain person. He poses them so they are in a position that they look their greatest. And also He captures who they really are, not what look like to be.
L. Katzberg Period 3
Irving Penn's work is very productive it looks like. I think the work is very nice and is good. The soft lighting makes the picture better.
T.Munoz per.3
His style is very simple. To me they look like pencil drawings. He uses lighting to show the mood and enhance certain areas that he wants to stand out. The poses look stiff but show the feelings of those being photographed. To me the mood looks dry and shows boredom.
R. Drake Period 3
His style is more of a ld fashion look. The nude pictures he has aren't the typical you would expect a skinny lady and she wasn't skinny. On the other hand he takes pictures of a lot of different models types swell.
I found that all his lighting is very dimmed. The poses are repetitive, and are really creepy or they tried to be sexy. The mood of these come off as depressed being of the lighting, and also i didnt really see a smile.
B.little Per.3
I think their work is kind of odd. The lighting is very dark and almost dramatic. Sort of sad in a way.
K.Kruger Per.3
After seeing this guys style I think the moood of his work is very serious. He likes to use black and white lighting. The poses they do look really formal or bleak.
R.Jacobs p.3
His style, to me, seems soft but powerful. He uses soft lighting, which creates a calmed mood, but I think his dark colors and shading makes it more powerful and strong. He also uses simple poses, none of the models and in any abstract positions, it is all very relaxed and normal.
J. Gallagher Per.3
The lighting is mostly black and white photos, But it still so power full. The pose is the way the person is standing, sitting, and more. The mood sets the feeling, and the way you feel.
A.Stumbaugh P.3
He likes to take pictures.. He likes making dramatic poses. He also makes them black and white so it makes him more scary. His lighting was dim and his mood was defiantly sad cause there was noooooooooooo smiles.
D.Podloujnyi Per.3
His photos have very low lighting in every one of them. The people in the photos have simple poses like just standing, sitting or just a close up. The mood of his pictures is calm or normal.
S.Orozco P.3
I think this style is different. I don't like these pictures that much. If it had more color it would be better.
D Guisinger
P. 3
Umm their work is kind of diffrent theirs lot of black and whit pics. he sure does love to take photos of people.
N,Vega P3
I would describe Penn's work as dark. To me its like he wants to get the creepier side of humans. It also reminds me of like a clay-mation style of photography.
S. Jost Per 3
His style is more of a ld fashion look. The nude pictures he has aren't the typical you would expect a skinny lady and she wasn't skinny. On the other hand he takes pictures of a lot of different models types as well
K.Polkk period3
I think his art mood is rather bland and boring. The colors and lighting are all dull and gray. Alot of the pictures are rather in repetitive poses that we have all seen before in many pictures of that age.
If he invented this style then its rather neat, but thats about it as otherwise its all just repetitive pictures.
J. Brady Per. 3
i have heard of this artist before but i did not know what his work was or looked like. i found his photos interesting but i would not hang most of it on my wall cause its just not my style. almost all of his photos show a mood of seriousness and passion.
The poses he uses are always serious . The lighting really adds on to the mood of the photo. Which the mood I think is a serious but depressed mood.
B. Leonetti Per. 3
His photography is very interesting. The lighting is soft and calm. The poses are usually laying down or sitting. The mood is soft.
E.Wymore Period 3
his styles are mostly black and white. i think its very unique the way he does his lighting. the mood he sets is very powerful.
B.Nowland P.3
I like the lighting in these photo. The poses are set and framed. and the mood is dramatic and very serious. Overall I like the photos.
B. Comiskey P.3
After looking at the photo that the photographer took, it captures his style of elegant, the pose shows structure and balance. The mood that I get from this is serious and strong.
V. Smith P.1
i have heard of this artist before but i did not know what his work was or looked like. i found his photos interesting but i would not hang most of it on my wall cause its just not my style. almost all of his photos show a mood of seriousness and passion.
J. Benjamin P.3
The lighting shows every wrinkle in the face a creates a soft calm mood. The pose also helps to create the mood. Most of the photos seem sad to me.
