Snowdon: A Life in View Hardcover – Illustrated, September-23-2014. by Antony Armstrong Jones (Author), Frances Von Hofmannsthal (Editor), Patrick Kinmonth (Introduction), Graydon Carter (Foreword), Tom Ford (Contributor). This is a wonderful collection of photographs taken by Lord Snowdon, who was one of the great portrait photographers of the 20th century. International figures from a wide cross-section of public life are capturedA 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 Archive material includes previously unpublished polaroids, private scrapbooks, and letters. * Publisher ‏ : ‎ Rizzoli; Illustrated edition (September 23, 2014) * Language ‏ : ‎ English * Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 376 pages * Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 10.5 x 1.5 x 14 inches
