Exclusive Photography by Slim Aarons
Porto Ercole Hotel Pellicano [A]
Slim Aarons was a lifestyle photographer. In 1957 he shot the most praised photograph, Kings of Hollywood, depicting Clark Gable, Van Heflin, Gary Cooper and Jimmy Stewart all laughing. He built his career “photographing attractive people who were doing attractive things in attractive places.” and did it wonderfully. In addition, The publication ‘A Wonderful Time‘ in 1974 identifies the ideas of his whole work. Extraordinary people, places and moments looked from inside. The cover of this post was carefully selected as the man looks very similar to Dickie Greenleaf from The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999). Enjoy.
