MoMA has a small collection of Irving Penn photographs in their lobby that I think are worth seeing. There are only about eight portrait photographs, but I think they are great and interesting black and whites to check out. They're not your traditional portraits. He constructs his photographs from odd angles, crops harshly, uses harsh lighting/high contrast. I don't think he has much of a specific style, which I enjoy. See how you like his work...
