Lord Snowdon is Koto Bolofo’s photographic portrayal of legendary British photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, known to the world as Lord Snowdon. The infamous Snowdon has photographed many icons of the twentieth century including David Bowie, Miuccia Prada, Karl Lagerfeld and Gilbert & George, and through his 1960 marriage to Princess Margaret, he has become a privileged photographer to the British Royal Family.
This book is Bolofo’s tribute to Snowdon’s life and work, and a document on the man behind the public persona.
Talking about the book with Scott Schuman on his blog The Satorialist Bolofo says:
”I personally work with no assistants, and do not photograph any subjects immediately; I visit them and grow as a friend. If I miss a great moment, it will come again, I trust the patterns of a person ... The key in the end is that you have to LOVE people and understand them. My quest is to take the foundation of a person and find their joy.”
