"Snowdon is one of the most versatile photographers of his generation. This book presents a variety of his work spanning five decades, from his early reportage of London in the 1950s to his photographs of leading figures in the arts today. He is still a regular contributor to Vanity Fair and to Vogue, for which he took his first pictures over forty-five years ago, making him the magazine's longest-serving contributor. "--BOOK JACKET.
