‘Helmut Newton, Polaroids’: Original Outtakes
A rare selection of Newton’s Polaroids provides a never-before-seen glimpse into some of the photographer’s greatest shoots.

Helmut Newton

Helmut Newton first garnered international fame in the ‘70s when his provocative, sexually charged photographs regularly appeared in French Vogue. Newton’s revolutionary influence only grew with time as he further developed his signature racy aesthetic, capturing his subjects in controversial scenarios and casting them in stark light. Exhibited this year at Berlin’s Museum für Fotografie, a rare collection of Newton’s Polaroids provides a never-before-seen glimpse into some of his most famous shoots. From women scantily clad in leather and fur to unabashed nudes framed in striking compositions, see the photographer’s original outtakes featured in a new exhibition catalog.
