“Ninety nine percent of my contemporaries kept on reporting about the miseries and worries of the world after the war – but hell, someone had to do the other stuff. Besides, after the war, the only beaches I wanted to see had girls on them.” – Slim Aarons #HultonArchive [1 of 3] #ThrowbackThursday __ The inimitable Slim Aarons, who is seen here visiting the Getty Images Hulton Archive in 1999. Shot by the archive’s own Steve Eason, who remembers Slim as a character every bit as colourful as his images. Although we have since moved across London, we’re still home to Slim’s entire collection of negatives and transparencies, which document five decades of international play and splendour. Airily composed and full of natural light, Slim’s work is currently showing gettyimagesgallery as part of #ArchivalShow – until 6th May.
