Arthur Elgort (born June 8, 1940) is an American fashion photographer best known for his work with Vogue magazine.
Early life and education
Elgort was born in Brooklyn, New York City, to Sophie (née Didimamoff) and Harry Elgort (April 10, 1908 – October 23, 1998), a restaurant owner. He is of Russian-Jewish heritage. Raised in New York City, he attended Stuyvesant High School and Hunter College, where he studied painting.
Career
Elgort began his career working as a photo assistant to Gosta "Gus" Peterson. Elgort's 1971 debut in British Vogue created a sensation in the Fashion Photography world where his soon-to-be iconic "snapshot" style and emphasis on movement and natural light liberated the idea of fashion photography. In September 2008, he told Teen Vogue that he credited Mademoiselle for his big break: "They were really brave and gave me a chance. It was the first time I was shooting a cover instead of a half-page here or there."
He worked for such magazines as Vogue and International Vogue, Glamour, GQ, Rolling Stone, and Teen Vogue, and shooting advertising campaigns with fashion labels as Chanel, Valentino, and Yves Saint Laurent. He continued to work for fashion publications, as well as working on 2009 advertising campaigns with Via Spiga and Liz Claiborne with Isaac Mizrahi. His work is exhibited in the permanent collections of the International Center of Photography in New York, in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and in the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas.
In 2011, Elgort won the CFDA Board of Directors' Award.
Personal life
Elgort resides in New York City with his wife, Grethe Barrett Holby, who is a producer, stage director, choreographer, and dramaturge. They have a daughter and two sons, one of whom is actor and singer Ansel Elgort.
Elgort's nephew is stand-up comedian Sam Morril.
