Helmut Newton's unerring skill in capturing the erotic allure of strong, striking women was legendary. Helmut Newton's TASCHEN coffee table book "Polaroids" is an immersive collection of his test polaroids, taken in preparation for his formal shoots. With their spontaneous candidness, they offer a fascinating insight into the photographer's art.
Fortunately for us, legendary photographer Helmut Newton has preserved his test polaroids, giving us a privileged and rare opportunity to see the tests of a selection of his best shots over a period of decades, including many of the TASCHEN titles SUMO, A Gun for Hire and Legacy.
Selected by his widow, June Newton, from more than 300 photographs featured in the 2011 "Helmut Newton Polaroids" exhibition at the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin, this collection captures the magic of Helmut Newton photo shoots as only Polaroids can.
