German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton is one of the world’s most iconic fashion photographers. Inspired by Expressionist cinema, film noir, and surrealism, Newton was a prolific image-maker and visionary whose daring work helped shape modern photography and visual art.
In 1999, along with friend and collector Gert Elfering, Newton compiled a ‘One-off’ photographic album of his boundary-pushing work which is now part of the Nicola Erni Collection. Helmut Newton: One-off (Phaidon) reproduces this album in full, allowing readers to experience this remarkable object and to marvel at Newton’s artistic process and ingenuity. On the occasion of the publication of this new book, join us for an immersive glimpse into Newton’s creative process and body of work.
