Koto Bolofo<br />
Lord Snowdon<br />
Lord Snowdon is Koto Bolofo’s photographic portrait of legendary British photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, known<br />
to the world as Lord Snowdon. The infamous Snowdon has photographed many icons of the twentieth century including<br />
David Bowie, Miuccia Prada, and Gilbert and George, and through his 1960 marriage to Princess Margaret, he has<br />
become a privileged photographer to the British Royal Family. This book is Bolofo’s tribute to Snowdon’s life and work,<br />
and a document of the man behind the public persona.<br />
Snowdon and Bolofo hit it off from their first meeting (“Would you like a drink?” asked Snowdon at 11 am), and their<br />
rapport is evident in Bolofo’s portraits of Snowdon in his London home and studio. Lord Snowdon includes images of<br />
old newspaper clippings, as well as Snowdon’s archives and notebooks, making the book the most tender and comprehensive<br />
study of Snowdon to date.<br />
Koto Bolofo was born in South Africa in 1959 and raised in Great Britain. Bolofo has photographed and made short<br />
films for magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair and GQ. He has created advertising campaigns for brands including<br />
Hermès, Louis Vuitton and Dom Pérignon. Bolofo lives in the Vendée, France, and his books with <strong>Steidl</strong> include Venus<br />
(2008), I Spy with My Little Eye, Something Beginning with S (2010), Vroom! Vroom! (2010), Grand Complication<br />
(2010) and La Maison (2011).<br />
