Descriere Arthur Elgort | Grace Coddington, Arthur Elgort

This is Arthur Elgort's (born 1940) first comprehensive book, showing his world-renowned fashion imagery alongside his personal work. 'The Big Picture' spans Elgort's five-decade career and illustrates his longevity as an emulated fashion photographer. His lively and casual shooting style is significantly influenced by his lifelong love of music and dance, particularly jazz and ballet.

Elgort's 1971 debut in British 'Vogue' created a sensation in the fashion world where his soon-to-be iconic snapshot style and emphasis on movement and natural light transgressed norms of fashion photography. Elgort subsequently rose to fame working for such distinguished magazines as American, French and Italian 'Vogue,' 'Interview,' 'GQ,' 'Life' and 'Rolling Stone' and shooting advertising campaigns for fashion labels including Chanel, Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent.
