Reflections of Grandeur with Slim Aarons
If there was a music score to this post, it would be Love's Theme sung by Barry White. It was the opening track of a television series titled Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous hosted by Robin Leach.
As a child, I was glued to the television when this series would appear. It was only then that I realised that there was an entirely different world of luxurious living to that of my own humble surrounds.
Parallel to this time in the 70's and 80's, Slim Aarons, a photographer who worked mainly for society publications, took pictures of the rich and famous both before and after serving as a photographer for the US military magazine Yank during World War II.
Aarons was known for the positive portrayals he gave to the people he photographed and was invited to high-society gatherings for exactly this reason. His subject matter covered American and European society as well as nobility and both minor and major stars of the day.
I'm delighted to announce that I'm now a stockist for his magnificent portrayals of this time.
