In celebration of the life and work of Slim Aarons (1916 – 2006), Central’s Picture This Gallery is hosting a newly launched collection of dozens of the revered photojournalist’s most iconic shots.

After enlisting to the US Army in 1941 and acting as a combat photographer during World War II, Aarons turned his lens to the undeniably more colourful and less traumatising sun-drenched lives of the American aristocracy, Hollywood stars and deep-pocketed jet-setters.
