Photographs by Arthur Elgort
Born in New York City in 1940, Elgort first studied painting at Hunter College. This is where he discovered his passion for photography. Finding the solitary nature of painting unfulfilling, he turned to photography. His early work capturing ballet dancers in motion laid the foundation for his signature aesthetic. He became known for his natural, unposed, and full of life photography. In 1971, his breakthrough came when British Vogue published one of his images, launching a career that would redefine the industry.
A Word from Arthur Elgort

“Taking pictures is what I love and I like my subjects to be varied, a little bit of everything – fashion, jazz, ballet, my kids, landscapes, and even ‘street’ photography. I never want my work to be stuck in one category. Fashion might be what sells, but a girl on a subway could be fashion, a jazz musician in a club could be fashion, and a ballerina at the barre could be too. I’ve always like to integrate all of my interests into my photos and I think that’s reflected in this exhibit of nearly 50 years of my work.” – Arthur Elgort
Over the past five decades, Arthur Elgort has become one of the most celebrated and imitated photographers in the world. Moreover he has also redefined what fashion photography could be. From his iconic Vogue covers to his influential luxury-brand campaigns, his images still remain relevant today. Reverie offers a rare opportunity to experience the breadth of his vision—a legacy that continues to inspire and shape the future of photography.
