Helmut Newton's 1950 portrait of his wife June, modelling a "Hat of the Week" for Myer's Department Store [6] His provocative, erotically charged photos were a mainstay of Vogue and other publications during the sexual revolution of the 1960s and ‘70s. I do a lot of my work at midday, even in the desert, because I adore hard light, whether I’m working on fashion, portraits, or nudes. With the nude, hard light brings out those muscles. SUMO is a book series by publishing house TASCHEN, so named due to their size. [1] History [ edit ] Helmut Newton / Alice Springs. Us And Them / Helmut Newton.

It arrives to a very different world. Published into a post-supermodel, post-ironic culture, the new edition will find a new generation of readers, who may well be inured to Newton’s original provocation. But in a regressive political climate challenging women’s rights on all fronts, they may also discover a new appreciation for his nudes, their insolence and agency, and find resonance in their assertive, unflinching poses. He owned a Hasselblad 500 but didn’t like to use it as he found it too heavy and too noisy, opting to only use it for studio and commissioned shoots. Helmut Newton (1920–2004) always showed a healthy disdain for the easy or predictable, so it’s no surprise that the SUMO was an irresistible project. The idea of a book the size of a private exhibition, with spectacular images reproduced to state-of-the-art origination and printing standards, emerged from an open, experimental dialogue between photographer and publisher. With the SUMO weighing in—boxed and shrink-wrapped—at 35.4 kg (just under 80 pounds), Newton created a landmark book that stood head and shoulders above anything previously attempted, both in terms of conceptual extravagance and technical specifications. The meeting was not a success – she took offense to a light-hearted comment by Newton – and the portrait was never taken. The Young Rebel The Hollywood film The Eyes of Laura Mars starring Faye Dunaway was inspired by Helmut’s photos. Ironically, the photos he contributed to the film were rejected as the director of the film wanted more blood and corpses, which were of no interest to Helmut.I often use artificial light because I like to photograph at night. Generally, I use 100- or 60-watt bulbs because I hate burning in a print. I am very careful about artificial light, particularly a 500-watt bulb, because it can become too crude and impossible to control. The hardness of sunlight is another quality because it is purer, easier to control, and has much more bounce.
