Slim Aarons: A Thing of Beauty https://www.holdenluntz.com/magazine/photo-spotlight/slim-aarons-a-thing-of-beauty/ Tue, 19 Nov 2024 01:01:13 +0000 https://www.holdenluntz.com/?p=37216 For over five decades, American photographer Slim Aarons captured the lifestyles of the rich and famous, presenting a golden age of wealth, beauty, and privilege through sunny portraits of post-war affluence. Born George Allen Aarons in 1916 in New York, he later became known as ‘Slim’ due to his lean, 6ft 4in frame. While Aarons would later surround himself with the glitterati, his beginnings in photography were far from luxurious.

Paulette Tavormina: Breathing Life into Stillness https://www.holdenluntz.com/magazine/photo-spotlight/paulette-tavormina-breathing-life-into-stillness/ Tue, 23 Apr 2024 01:01:51 +0000 https://www.holdenluntz.com/?p=36750 The still-life photographs of Paulette Tavormina are anything but still; on the contrary, they are full of life. Recalling sumptuous details of seventeenth-century Old Master painters such as Francisco de Zurbarán, Adriaen Coorte, Juan Sánchez Cotán, and Giovanna Garzoni, Tavormina’s painterly compositions serve as intensely personal interpretations of timeless, universal stories and themes of of life and love, of joy and sorrow.
