"Sea Drive - Slide", Slim Aarons, January 1, 1967- Nassau, Bahamas

Captured in 1967, this vibrant photograph, "Sea Drive", shows film producer Kevin McClory enjoying a unique ride with his wife Bobo Sigrist and their family in an Amphicar, gliding smoothly across the turquoise waters of Nassau Harbour in the Bahamas. The playful amphibious vehicle, equally at home on land and sea, adds a whimsical touch to a scene defined by warmth, family, and tropical ease. The backdrop of palm-fringed shores and sunny skies reflects the laid-back luxury of mid-century Caribbean life, a favored escape for creatives and elites alike. This image evokes an era when leisure was an art form and the extraordinary was simply part of everyday living.

After serving as a war photographer, Slim Aarons turned his lens to a new landscape: the glamorous lives of Hollywood elites, Palm Beach socialites, and jet-setting debutantes and princes. Aarons famously described his subjects as “attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.” More than just portraits, his photographs encapsulated a luxurious way of life. Today, we are proud to share Slim Aarons' timeless work, offering a glimpse into the elegance and sophistication he so marvelously captured.
