Irving Peen is known for his iconic fashion, still life, and portrait                      which appeared in Vogue. He is ranked as one of the foremost photographers of the 20th century. In the late 1930's Peen took pictures of street scenes, in the early 1940's he took photographs of the American South, celebrity portraits, fashion photographs, still lives, and more private studio images.

This is one on Penn's fashion pictures, this photograph is from 1995 Bee (A) or well known as Bee On Lips. This picture is of a lady with a bee on her lip. I like this picture because it is interesting. Why is there a bee on her lips? I also like it because Peen inspired Sean+Seng to take a picture similar to this . A bee perched on famous singer Lana Del Rey's lips.
