Arthur Elgort

Known for: candid, movement-based fashion photography at Vogue

Arthur Elgort joined American Vogue in 1971 and spent the following five decades developing an informal, movement-based approach to fashion photography that was explicitly counter to the posed formalism of his predecessors. He drew on his interest in jazz and ballet and collaborated closely with dancers, often photographing them in motion. He is the father of the actor Ansel Elgort.
