The Big Picture is the first major monograph dedicated to Arthur Elgort, one of the most influential fashion photographers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Spanning over five decades, the book presents a sweeping overview of his work—featuring both iconic fashion editorials and rarely seen personal photographs. Elgort is known for transforming the language of fashion photography. His signature style—natural light, spontaneous movement, and models captured in real-life moments—broke with the stiff conventions of studio portraiture and helped redefine visual storytelling in fashion. From the streets of New York and Paris to the studios of Vogue and campaigns for leading fashion houses, his images radiate immediacy, ease, and elegance. With over 400 pages, The Big Picture is a vivid tribute to Elgort’s career, capturing the energy, grace, and enduring appeal of his photographic vision.
