Overview

Helmut Newton (1920-2004) is remembered as one of the most prolific photographers of the 20th century, channeling the sensuality and erotic power of his subjects with panache, precision, and impact. His aesthetic was uniquely his, while at the same time establishing a new way of photographing fashion and glamour. Joining TASCHEN's illustrious collection of Helmut Newton titles, including Helmut Newton: Polaroids, Pages from the Glossies, and the spectacular Helmut Newton: SUMO, this fresh edition of Helmut Newton: Work spans an impressive stretch of Newton's career, including some of his most striking shots from the '60s through to his golden heyday. From shadowy street to hotel boudoir, it's a collection that showcases Newton's suggestive storytelling throughout his fashion, editorial, or personal pictures.
