Arthur Elgort: I Love...
Arthur Elgort
Arthur Elgort has always loved women. When he realized that striking up a conversation with them was easier with a camera he was hooked. While he made a career photographing models for fashion, he was also taking personal photographs of every woman he met along the way. This book is a compilation of images, many unpublished till now, of women throughout Arthur’s life and career. It is Arthur’s homage to women - their power, their beauty, their innocence, their joy, their strength. Featured among others are iconic female beauty such as Gia Carangi, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Polly Mellen.
Arthur Elgort (born 1940) studied painting at Hunter College but quickly transitioned to photography, finding painting too slow and solitary. Elgort attributes much of his spontaneous and liberated style to his lifelong love of music and dance, especially jazz and ballet. In his long career he has worked on many major advertising campaigns, including for Chanel, Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent, shot countless fashion spreads and published several books.
