A new book by the celebrated social photographer captures the city in all its most unscrupulous glory

In 1981, back from art school and looking for work in his hometown of Oxford, Welsh photographer Dafydd Jones decided to turn his camera on life at the university. His photographs of the beautiful and privileged eating at their dining clubs caught editor Tina Brown’s eye, and she hired Jones to shoot for Tatler in London, and later for Vanity Fair in New York. “In England, I’d become too well-known as a Tatler photographer,” Jones says of his move to the US.

Others reveal his subjects’ resting expressions: a po-faced Rupert Murdoch at a New York Magazine celebration at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1993, or Diane von Fürstenberg contentedly sampling the catering in the bustling Four Seasons hotel kitchen during a Sunday benefit party in 1989. It’s also a portrait of a time during which New York’s creative community was “being decimated” by AIDS, Jones writes in the introduction.
