Slim Aarons
Slim Aarons, born George Allen Aarons (October 29, 1916 – May 29, 2006), was an American photographer noted for photographing socialites, jet-setters and celebrities.
==Photography career==
He was born in Manhattan. At 18 years old, Aarons enlisted in the U.S. Army, worked as a photographer at West Point, and later served as a combat photographer in World War II and earned a Purple Heart. Aarons said combat had taught him the only beach worth landing on was "decorated with beautiful, seminude girls tanning in a tranquil sun."
After the war, Aarons moved to California and began photographing celebrities. In California, he shot his most praised photo, ''Kings of Hollywood'', a 1957 New's Year's Eve photograph depicting Clark Gable, Van Heflin, Gary Cooper, and James Stewart relaxing at a bar in full formal wear. Aaron's work appeared in'' Life, Town & Country,'' and'' Holiday ''magazines.
Aarons never used a stylist, or a makeup artist. He made his career out of what he called "photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places."〔Douglas Martin 'Slim Aarons, 89, Dies; Photographed Celebrities at Play' New York Times: June 1, 2006 ()〕〔MacDonell, N. (2007). In the Know: The Classic Guide to Being Cultured and Cool. Penguin.〕 An oft-cited example of this approach is his 1970 ''Poolside Gossip''〔Aarons, Slim (2007). ''Poolside with Slim Aarons.'' Abrams, New York ; London〕 shot at Richard Neutra's Kaufman House (once the home of singer Barry Manilow), with owner Nelda Linsk as one of the models in the photo.〔See cover and comment: Friedman, Alice T. American Glamour and the Evolution of Modern Architecture. Yale University Press, 2010.〕 "I knew everyone," he said in an interview with ''The (London) Independent'' in 2002. "They would invite me to one of their parties because they knew I wouldn't hurt them. I was one of them."〔Walker, T. (2008). Rich, Attractive People In Attractive Places Doing Attractive Things.〕 Alfred Hitchcock's film'', Rear Window, ''whose main character is a photographer played by Jimmy Stewart, is set in an apartment reputed to be based on Aarons' apartment.〔Koetzle, Hans-Michael (2011). Photographers A-Z. Taschen, Cologne, p.6〕
