Irving Penn, Mascara Wars, New York, 2001
‘Companies spend millions of dollars developing breakthrough
technology, and we were reporting on the latest “mascara war” between
two of the giants,’ Posnick recalls. ‘The model’s eyes were closed for
two hours while Penn photographed every possible variation... He had a
picture that wasn’t especially exciting or memorable, but there was
nothing that he hadn’t already tried... Our model opened her eyes, and I
saw that they were completely bloodshot. Penn said, “Don’t move.” He
did just two or three more exposures. Here was the shock that was
missing’
