Helmut Newton. Polaroids will appeal to photography enthusiasts, art and fashion historians, and anyone fascinated by the artistry behind iconic images. It is particularly suited to readers interested in the history of analogue photography and those who appreciate intimate archival collections.
Late photographer Helmut Newton's unerring skill at capturing the erotic allure of strong, striking women was legendary. This is a compelling collection of his test Polaroids, taken to prepare for his formal shoots, and, with their candid spontaneity, offer a fascinating insight into the photographer's art.

Description
Polaroids occupy a special place in the hearts of many photo enthusiasts who remember a time when "instant photography" meant one-of-a-kind prints that developed within minutes of clicking the shutter. What was once a crucial tool for photographers to test their shots before shooting on film has now become obsolete in the face of digital photography.
Luckily for us, legendary photographer Helmut Newton saved his test Polaroids, allowing a privileged and rare chance to see the tests from a selection of his greatest shoots over a period of decades, including many from the TASCHEN titles SUMO, A Gun for Hire, and Work. Selected by his widow, June Newton, from over 300 photos featured at the 2011 exhibition Helmut Newton Polaroids at the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin, this collection captures the magic of Helmut Newton photo shoots as only Polaroids can.

This book has been praised for its rarity and uniqueness, showcasing the meticulous work of possibly fashion's greatest photographer. The minimalist design, featuring one or two Polaroid-sized images per page, emphasises the raw and experimental nature of Newton's test shots. Real Travel highlights how it offers a privileged insight into the framing and refinement process integral to his legendary photos.

About the Author
Matthias Harder studied art history, classical archaeology, and philosophy in Kiel and Berlin. He is a member of the German Society of Photography and an advisory council member of the European Month of Photography. Head curator of the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin from 2004, and since 2019 the Foundation's director, he has written numerous articles for art magazines, books and exhibition catalogues. Helmut Newton (1920–2004) was one of the most influential photographers of all time. He first achieved international fame in the 1970s while working principally for the different international editions of Vogue, where he was celebrated for his controversial scenarios and the ability to make a thoroughly planned photograph seem fresh and dynamic. His many titles and awards include Commandeur dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
