Slim Aarons Photography

He loved California, photographing socialites, jet-setters and celebrities. Slim Aarons never used a make-up artist or stylist he said he made his career out of "photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places." I'm obsessed.

Mrs F C Winston Guest (aka Cee Zee Guest) and her son Alexander Michael Douglas Dudley Guest in front of their Grecian temple pool on the ocean-front estate, Villa Artemis, Palm Beach. 1955.


Film director Howard Hawks (1896 - 1977) and his wife Dee spend a summer day by the pool in Monaco with producer Charles K Feldman (1904 - 1968) and Feldman's protegee Germaine Lefebvre, aka French actress Capucine (1933 - 1990). (1957)
