Helmut Newton was a German- Australian photographer described as
a prolific, widely imitated fashion photographer whose provocative, erotically charged black-and-white photos were a mainstay of Vogue and other publications." He worked particularly for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. His style was marked by highly stylised erotic images punctuated with sado-masochistic, fetish elements.

In a purely technical sense I like Newton's work, it's skilled, interesting and evocative but generally he seems to be considered a self obsessed, misogynist so im not too sure whether I should like him or not, I do love the photos he did for YSL.
Nobody cares whether you like him or not.
ReplyDeleteAs for being self obsessed, I would have thought that label would more accurately apply to you.
