Helmut Newton - Photographer


One of my favorites photographer . He divides his work into three categories: nudes, portraits and fashion. But the nudes also can be a portrait, or fashion photo can be a nude and vice versa . Amazing and stunning images , stylized scenes with fetishistic taste. The photos are tasteful , not too much nudity , that would look like pornography. The main thing is body in the image, but the atmosphere and the idea how to present it , makes photography to talk.

"any advice for the young?

there are two dirty words in photography; one is 'art', and the other is 'good taste'.beauty is intellect.and glamour has nothing to do with money. "
