I think they are too. Some of the photos are a little disturbing, but I like them. I think he treated his subjects respectfully and I admire the photos for their formal qualities. They're very evocative.

 

[Estella*]

yes that's something i like about him. he is not just pleasing. i saw the great nudes once at an exhibition and it created a very strange atmosphere...with all the people walking around trying not to show signs of curiousity.

Thanks for starting this thread.
I love the simplicity in his work. And his older work is just amazing, his models exude confidence, so strong and intense.

 

[NouvelleVague]

I think the stylists of this one deserves as much credit as Penn.

 

[Cirque Paris]

I'm so glad he's still around to contribute his originality. What a remarkable talent.
