Over the course of a career lasting half a century, Slim Aarons (1916-2006) portrayed high society, aristocracy, authors, artists, business icons, the celebrated and their milieu. In doing so, he captured a golden age of wealth, privilege, beauty and leisure that occurred alongside—but quite separate from—the cultural and political backdrop of the second half of the Twentieth Century.

Undercurrent Projects is proud to offer this vibrant photograph, printed by the Slim Aarons estate. It is part of the estate's only official limited run, of 150. Estate stamp embossed on recto, hand numbered in ink on recto, with certificate of authenticity from the estate (not a secondary gallery licensing from the estate).
Increasingly heralded for his influence, Slim Aarons (1916-2006) made a career out of photographing "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places." Aarons is known for his iconic images of Hollywood glamour and luxurious people, places and lifestyles.
Undercurrent Projects offers premium quality photographic prints from the Slim Aarons Archive, owned and housed by Getty Images. All photographs are printed and authorized by the Getty Images Gallery, London. Photographs are printed utilizing the original transparency held at the archive source.
Aarons began his career as a combat photographer in World War II. Though he earned a Purple Heart for his service, he declared that combat had taught him that the only beach worth landing on was decorated with beautiful people enjoying themselves in the sun.
Slim Aarons is noted for his documentation of the Beautiful People over 50 years, encompassing high society, celebrity, aristocracy, and the jet set. He was born and raised in New York City and New Jersey and later New Hampshire. He took up photography as a teenager. At the age of eighteen, he enlisted in the U. S. Army and was later appointed official photographer at the United States Military Academy at West Point. During World War II he served as an army combat photographer for Yank magazine in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. After the war he became a freelance photojournalist, first based in Hollywood, then Rome, then New York. His photographs appeared in many magazines, including Life, Holiday, Town & Country, Look, Venture, and Travel & Leisure. His first book A Wonderful Time (1974) is considered a classic.

Speedboat Landing, Porto Ercole, Estate Edition, Seascape Photograph
By Slim Aarons
Located in Los Angeles, CA
August 1973: A motor boat arrives at a jetty in Porto Ercole, Italy, as figures on the boat and dock enjoy a moment of understated elegance.
Shot from above, this midcentury photograph captured by society photographer Slim Aarons in 1973 features highlights the interplay of sun, sea, and polished deck—a setting that seamlessly fuses casual glamour with everyday leisure. The Mediterranean waters shimmer with shifting blues, while the boat’s white surface offers a crisp focal point. True to Aarons’s approach, the composition exudes spontaneity yet feels carefully poised, revealing an intimate slice of jet-set culture along Italy’s Tuscan coast. Even decades later, this work showcases Aarons’s enduring style: a fine balance of serene setting, refined subjects, and a vivid sense of place that continues to enthrall viewers with its timeless warmth and charm.
