Who was the famous photographer of Palm Springs?
The famous photographer of Palm Springs was Slim Aarons. An American photographer, he captured the 20th century’s international jet set — U.S. socialites, European royalty, Hollywood stars — at play in sun-kissed locales like Palm Beach and other luxurious settings around the globe. Among Aarons’s books are 1974’s A Wonderful Time: An Intimate Portrait of the Good Life and its 2003 sequel, Once Upon a Time. His final book, A Place in the Sun, was published in 2005, one year before his death. Find a selection of Slim Aarons photography on 1stDibs.
