Show Object Label(s)Helmut Newton (1920–2004, American)
first achieved international fame in the
1970s while working for French Vogue. He
transformed fashion photography from a mere
photographic report of current styles to an
alluring presentation with sets and narrative.
Newton preferred to shoot in streets or interiors
rather than in studios and is renowned for
his striking compositions, bold lighting, and
controversial scenarios, all of which are seen
in this provocative, anonymous portrait.
