Description
After serving as a combat photographer during World War II, Slim Aarons came home weary of war and vowed that from there on out he would only turn his lens on, as he put it, “attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.” And that he did. Slim Aarons: The Essential Collection offers a comprehensive look at the iconic photographer’s dazzling career, from his early days in the army to his time shooting socialites, royals, renowned artists and Hollywood elites living the good life in fabulous settings all over the world. Within the pages of this impressive tome, you’ll find hundreds of black-and-white and color photographs from Aaron’s collection, including over one hundred rare and previously unpublished works. Interspersed among these captivating photos are fascinating essays from art historians, journalists and even Aaron’s former assistant, Laura Hawk, which delve into key moments in his career, his lasting cultural impact and exclusive insights on Aarons himself. An incredible tribute to the father of celebrity lifestyle photography, Slim Aarons is a must-have for any photography lover.
