Slim Aarons (1916-2006) was a celebrated American photographer who chronicled the leisurely lifestyle of the rich and famous in his captivating shots of beguiling figures in luxurious environments. Slim Aarons’ prints of the iconic poolside series are some of the most candid portraits of the 20th century. Like its predecessors, Once Upon a Time and A Place in the Sun , Poolside with Slim Aarons offers images of jet-setters and the wealthy, of beautiful, glittering people living the glamorous life. Yet this new collection of stunning photographs of the rich and well-connected “doing attractive things” in their favorite playgrounds has a new twist.
It’s not the wealth that interests me specifically, it’s the carefree attitude that comes with it, and how Slim Aarons has managed to translate it – positively. There’s no denying his most iconic photos are of attractive people, doing attractive things, in attractive places – but I think for fans of his work today, there’s such a fascination with this period of distinct class, carefree love and expenditure that drives so much interest.

After the war, SLIM INSISTED—in a phrase that became his leitmotif—he’d allow himself to photograph only “ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE who were doing ATTRACTIVE THINGS in ATTRACTIVE PLACES.” I feel kinda bad not giving this a better review and almost gave into my guilt and gave it 3 stars. After all, there are some beautiful photographs here. However, the subject bored me. Wealthy people and pools. I didn't care. I mean, I enjoy money, I like pools, and I love exotic locales but I was so uninterested in rich people vacationing in gorgeous locations, hanging out by pools. I felt I should be envying their lives but I totally don't. The 3,200-square-foot home features five bedrooms. Photo: Daniel Solomon/Vista Sotheby’s International Realty Aarons, Slim (1974).
