Product Description

Instant Newton A collection of Helmut Newton's test Polaroids

Polaroids occupy a special place in the hearts of many photo enthusiasts who remember a time when "instant photography" meant a 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. Put together by his widow, June Newton, his collection captures the magic of Helmut Newton photo shoots as only Polaroids can.

Wow! 27 July 2011
Format:Hardcover
I have been a fan of newtons work for a long time and bought this as soon as it became available. it's very interesting to be allowed this glimpse into the process of newtons work. Comparing the polaroids in this book to the proper shots in books like sumo or gun for hire is fascinating.. It just so happens i am a great fan of polaroids anyway and so to be able to leaf through a book of one of the best photographer there has ever been and to be able to see these polaroids, it's about as good as it gets

Highly recommended!!

Helmut Newton was great, and this book is beautifully produced and packaged by Taschen but save for the cover and less than a handful of images inside IMO you will be disappointed. I would borrow a copy from a library first.
I did , and gave the book back the next day. If we did not know of his good work you would wonder what all the fuss was about. It's also highly repetitiv. It's as though these polaroids were parodying himself, and not well IMO.
