over the course of a career lasting half a century, slim aarons (1916-2006) portrayed high society, aristocracy, authors, artists, business icons, the celebrated and their milieu. In doing so, he captured a golden age of wealth, privilege, beauty and leisure
that occurred alongside—but quite separate from—the cultural and political backdrop of the second half of the twentieth century.
the slim aarons estate has released this limited estate edition as a chromogenic c print.
they have chosen these prints for their sharpness, clarity, tonality and quality, compared to archival inkjet prints.
c prints give true continuous colour and tone.
aarons began his career as a combat photographer in world war ii.
though he earned a purple heart for his service, he declared that combat had taught him that the only beach worth landing on was decorated with beautiful people enjoying themselves in the sun.
increasingly known for his influence, aarons’s casually glamorous jetset aesthetic can be seen today in fashion, art, and celebrity photography. Recent articles credit his work with inspiring the casually flawless style of top instagram influencers, full of sunshine and escapism.
