Antony Armstrong Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon, is an English photographer and filmmaker. Graydon Carter is a Canadian-born American journalist and editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair. Patrick Kinmonth is an Anglo-Irish opera director, designer, and writer.
“Snowdon: A Life in View is a total love letter from his colleagues
and children, an intimate retelling of an extraordinary life that
still continues. There really are not enough superlatives to do
justice to this monograph…wonderfully precise and well-written
text…that renders the reader breathless. Having not really been
terribly familiar with his body of work, this reviewer was awed and
stunned by its breadth. It is a rare moment when a reader has no
trouble realizing exactly what these people rave about. This is a
coffee table book that must be read and reread time and again.
Antony Armstrong Jones is and was a true renaissance man who quite
possibly changed our vision regarding all aspects of photography.”
–New York Journal of Books
“Curated by Snowdon himself, the photographs speak to a different
world and a different time in that world. It is a beautiful book
with fascinating text sections and interesting photographs that
need to be studies for their technique.” –Apogee.com
“In addition to iconic portraits, and legendary fashion images,
archival material in the book includes previously unpublished
Polaroids, private scrapbooks, and letters.” –The Style
Saloniste
“I absolutely love the work of the 1st Earl of Snowdon, so it was a
real joy to take a look at his new publication…A Life in View looks
back on an exceptional life through a selection of 175 iconic
full-color and black-and-white fashion photographs and portraits
taken throughout his expansive and influential career.”
