Slim Aarons: A Thing of Beauty

For over five decades, American photographer Slim Aarons captured the lifestyles of the rich and famous, presenting a golden age of wealth, beauty, and privilege through sunny portraits of post-war affluence. Born George Allen Aarons in 1916 in New York, he later became known as ‘Slim’ due to his lean, 6ft 4in frame. While Aarons would later surround himself with the glitterati, his beginnings in photography were far from luxurious.
