Photographer Slim Aarons is known for showing the public a glimpse of the lives of the rich and beautiful. The late photographer worked for publications such as Town & Country, Harper's Bazaar, and Life magazine, and has taken wonderful photos of aristocrats and socialites. From champagne parties on snowy retreats to lounging in different villas around the globe, his photos exude luxury, elegance, and money. In a new book discussing Aarons’ work, Shawn Waldron and his colleague shared that instead of taking the photos to celebrate or critique the lavish lifestyles these people had, he was merely driven by curiosity.
