A personal and complete retrospective by one of the most important twentieth-century photographers. Elegantly curated by the legendary photographer and his youngest daughter Frances von Hofmannsthal, Snowdon looks back at an exceptional life and features a selection of 175 full-color and black-and-white stylish fashion photographs and iconic portraits taken throughout his expansive and influential career. Having started photographing at a young age, Snowdon focused primarily on theater, fashion, and society photography before becoming the official Royal photographer and starting a six-decade working relationship with Vogue. In 1960, he married Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II, and in 1961 he began his illustrious career with The Sunday Times magazine. Known for his expressive and candid portraits, using both subtle humor and quiet sincerity, Snowdon’s work evokes a sense of familiarity met with extreme beauty. His successes have branched equally from the worlds of high fashion and celebrity to the British Royal family, making his audience vast and beloved. The subjects featured include Cecil Beaton, Charlie Chaplin, David Bowie, Marlene Dietrich, Bridget Riley, David Hockney, Serge Gainsbourg, Yves Saint Laurent, and Jack Nicholson, among others. Archive material includes previously unpublished polaroids, private scrapbooks, and letters.

Gebunden. Etat : Neu. Neu -Sorgfältig kuratiert vom legendären Fotografen Snowdon und seiner jüngsten Tochter Frances von Hofmannsthal blickt Snowdon auf ein außergewöhnliches Leben zurück und präsentiert eine Auswahl von 175 stilvollen Modefotografien und ikonischen Porträts in Farbe und Schwarz-Weiß, die während seiner langen und einflussreichen Karriere entstanden sind. Bereits in jungen Jahren begann Snowdon zu fotografieren. Zunächst konzentrierte er sich vor allem auf Theater-, Mode- und Gesellschaftsfotografie, bevor er offizieller Fotograf des britischen Königshauses wurde und eine über sechs Jahrzehnte andauernde Zusammenarbeit mit dem Magazin Vogue begann. Im Jahr 1960 heiratete er Prinzessin Margaret, die Schwester von Königin Elizabeth II., und 1961 startete er seine glanzvolle Karriere beim Magazin The Sunday Times. Snowdon war für seine ausdrucksstarken und spontanen Porträts bekannt, die sowohl von subtilem Humor als auch von stiller Aufrichtigkeit geprägt sind. Seine Fotografien vermitteln ein Gefühl von Vertrautheit und verbinden dieses mit außergewöhnlicher Schönheit. Seine Erfolge erstrecken sich gleichermaßen über die Welt der Haute Couture, der Prominenz und des britischen Königshauses, wodurch sein Werk ein breites und geschätztes Publikum erreicht. Zu den porträtierten Persönlichkeiten zählen unter anderem Cecil Beaton, Charlie Chaplin, David Bowie, Marlene Dietrich, Bridget Riley, David Hockney, Serge Gainsbourg, Yves Saint Laurent und Jack Nicholson. Das Archivmaterial umfasst bislang unveröffentlichte Polaroids, private Scrapbooks (Erinnerungsalben) sowie Briefe. (Text engl.) 376 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 667153
