Helmut Newton's Polaroids by June Newton

Helmut Newton’s Polaroids by June Newton AOC Body|Beauty|Culture

Note | Nudity In the digital age Polaroids are all but obsolete in the arsenal of working photographers.

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. Most of these images have never been published.

The 224-page book is edited by Newton’s widow, June Newton and is scheduled for publication on August 1, 2011.
