Irving Penn ~ Daniel Storto : Two Masters of their Craft

TWO MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER'S WORK.

Irving Penn, brilliant photographer, leaves us with a great body of work. I love the tone of his photos, his use of space, dark and light, and an uncanny ability to immortalize his subject in all his photos. What an eye, what a talent!

Likewise, Daniel Storto, master glove-maker from Gloversville, New York continues to create astounding designs with his gloves coupled with superb craftmanship - like no other. What an eye, what a talent! Daniel is also known as the "glovemaker to the stars."

See below to appreciate strength and beauty of this partnership between model, designer, and photographer...
