Verbier Vacation, C-Type Print
Slim Aarons is an American photographer known for capturing (in his own words) ‘attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.’ However, life wasn’t always cocktails in exotic locations for Aarons. The photographer began his career photographing soldiers in combat during World War II, for which he received a Purple Heart.
After the war, Aarons set his sights on capturing the lifestyle of the rich and famous. By winning the trust of his subjects, he was able to shoot some of the most intimate and candid portraiture of the 20th century.
The photograph was taken in 1964, and depicts skiers catching some rays on a mountain top in Verbier, Switzerland.
This C-Type photography print is available in a range of sizes, and is part of an open edition, stamped by the publisher.

About the artist
Slim Aarons was one of the twentieth century’s most prolific documenters of high society. Over six decades, Aarons photographed some of the world’s most beautiful people in the globe’s most desirable destinations: jet-setting from Beverly Hills to Capri to the French Riviera, Aarons snapped everyone from the Kennedy family and Humphrey Bogart to Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly.
Aarons was a master of composition with a meticulous eye for detail. Via intimate portraits and sun-drenched landscapes, Aarons captured a golden age of wealth and privilege that stood in contrast to the cultural and political backdrop of the time.
Over the course of his career, Aarons took over 750,000 photographs, only 5,000 of which have ever been digitised. His photographs have graced the pages of prestigious publications including, Life, Town and Country, Vanity Fair and Harper’s Bazaar. Despite passing away in 2006, Aarons continues to inspire the worlds of film and high fashion, with the likes of Paul Smith, Tom Ford and Michael Kors creating collections inspired by the photographer.
