Arthur Elgort

American photographer

b. 1940age 86Living

A fashion photographer who broke from the static, formal conventions of the field with a loose, in-motion 'snapshot' style after his 1971 debut in British Vogue, shooting models as if caught mid-life rather than posed. His photographs for Vogue, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent are held in the permanent collections of the International Center of Photography and the Victoria and Albert Museum, and he won the CFDA's Board of Directors' Award in 2011.
