Known as a high-society photographer, Slim Aarons<\/span> captured the likes of Kings and Queens, Presidents past and present and the who’s who of Hollywood. As a lifestyle photographer he worked for many publications such as Life<\/i> and Town<\/i>\u00a0&\u00a0Country<\/i> to name a few.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
I asked for the Once Upon a Time<\/a> collection of Slim Aarons<\/span>‘ for Christmas, and I have so enjoyed flipping through the pages. What an escape- to see how the other half lives with lavish pool parties, royal picnics outside of their castles, and extravagant vacations in the Mediterranean<\/span>. Aarons<\/span> passed away in 2006, but this book gives you such a great feel for his personality, as he describes each shot in his own words.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
His photographs are so beautiful, many people are using them as artwork in their home. You can buy his prints here<\/a>. \u00a0Here are some of my favorites from the book:<\/div>\n
