In 1985, Helmut Newton began a series entitled “domestic nudes” which he subsequently continued in 1992 in Los Angeles, at the Chateau Marmont hotel where he lived, a setting he chose to take indoor photographs, under neon lights, with women perched on high heels in a laundry room in front of giant washing machines and piles of scattered sheets or even outdoors like this one, image in which his model poses completely naked in cowboy boots, one of the arms on the roof of an old Plymouth. He continues with other shots, placing his subjects in the kitchen of his suite, taking numerous shots, in front of huge fridges, in his apartments, images where one washes one's dirty laundry with class. Newton installs body language to accentuate an inaccessibility, the woman in a confident posture, he is obsessed with the light, the decor, the clothing and the model, for him, only the perfect moment counts. He likes staging, a way for him to have absolute control of the image, likes to be cunning and leaves nothing to chance: “all of my work is written before starting, I note the objects precisely, the light, the components of my photo”. Sophisticated, seductive, even provocative, under the lens of Helmut Newton, women are transformed into dazzling creatures, he devotes fashion in his work in order to sublimate women going so far as to imagine a world without men, man is according to him only a decorative object, it simply exists to enhance the woman. He entered the world of the greats of photography through the back door, he spends his time undressing his models, even his wife, he strips them almost completely naked, inventor of chic porn, he is a familiar and a follower of the world of luxury and fashion, a tireless and rigorous experimenter, who draws his inspiration from classical painting. He demonstrates sophistication, his taste for heels is legendary, even naked, his models must pose wearing sandals or pumps. “I realized that in the studio it didn't work well, that my imagination needed the reality of the outside world, and I also understood that it was only as a fashion photographer that I could create this type of universe. »Helmut Newton Helmut Newton has no limits, obeys no laws, he refuses to conform to what art accepts or not, his method is to excite and provoke. The eroticism of his photographs is a lever of freedom for women who cause scandals, they are dangerous, threatening, but always elegant. He knows how to stage, a way for him to have absolute control of the image, he likes to be cunning and leaves nothing to chance, "all of my work is written before starting, I note the objects precisely, the light, the components of my photo”. He therefore became the most expensive photographer of his time. Unfathomable, erotic, as aggressive as amazons, his images modify women into eternal greatness, they are mysterious and inaccessible, he transforms them into icons, into living statues. He is one of the first photographers to work in the street, his images show how obsessed he is with light, decor, a shoe, clothing and the model. For him, all that matters is the perfect moment. “I am a voyeur, whether he takes erotic photos, sexy photos or anything else, I think the photographer is a voyeur. We spend our lives looking through the little hole. If a photographer claims not to be a voyeur, he is a fool. »Helmut Newton He wants to be like a paparazzi, a voyeur who passes around an alley, a corridor, a studio, capturing these moments with the greatest discretion. He never adapts to conventions, his models lend themselves to a game in front of Helmut Newton's lens, the intuition for the photographer is that the image already exists in his head, ideal women according to his wishes. He keeps a distance from the subject he wishes to photograph, the source of his style, a style which is characterized in a raw, austere, sensual and even sometimes humorous way. He provokes, but he always does it artistically with his basic vocabulary of photographic art, that of revealing another universe, that of women. “The right girl at the right time, that’s what has always inspired me, it’s a matter of timing. I never ask myself what will excite the public, because if I worked like that, I would never take a single photo. Not only my own pleasure counts. Long before anyone expected to see an overly curvy, plump model, I begged editors on their knees to please slit the dresses in the back so these beauties could fit inside. »Helmut Newton For Newton, it is first of all, the body, its generous measurements, the soft hips alternating with the pointed elbows, women whose gaze points towards the top of the studio, ladies and mistresses, then comes the rest, the flesh, a wolf, a jacket held tight by a belt, a cigarette, a cape forming from the shoulder a point similar to that of the shoes which constitute the essential springboard for walking and revealing oneself with confidence on the roads of the world. It is the representation of the woman from every angle, the photographer's favorite subject, it is the woman above all that he places on a pedestal, in the universe that he knows how to create, that of porno-chic . “You have to live up to your bad reputation. »Helmut Newton Newton's women are powerful, seductive, dominant, never cold but always impressive, even intimidating, they are adults, dream creatures, who express their confidence and determination. Erotic Amazons, dressed in tight dresses, naked perched on high heels, these bodies that he photographs are an erotic manifesto, provocative and based on play, mystery and seduction. Sweat under the arms, swollen lips, kiss, man's shoulder, woman's hand, interaction of muscles, Newton has built his reputation as a fashion photographer like no other. “The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography. »Helmut Newton Since the beginning of his career, his intuition never leaves anything to chance, he is cunning, the image already exists in his head, that of the ideal woman according to his wishes, a woman who rivals the man, a seductive woman who dominates and imposes in its typical universe, a timeless image, in the realm of eroticism and sexuality. He is always ahead, faster than society, and particularly on the question of the status of women. None of his photographs seem to age, as if he had found, from the beginning, the right recipe, the right tone, and since then he had never stopped working on the same material, the woman, the object of desire par excellence. , the body as an affirmation of power, heels as a mark of superiority. In the 1960s, his career exploded, his staged fashion photos, his daring nudes and his portraits of stars propelled him to the firmament of photography. In a certain way Helmut Newton participated in the 1968 movement, the “sexual revolution”, it is from this moment that his photographic work took a turning point and became definitively anchored in the liberation of morals. “The women I photograph must express a certain availability. I think that the woman who gives the impression of being available is more sexually arousing than the one who is totally distant, this feeling of availability, I find it erotic. »Helmut Newton “There are two obscenities in photography, art and good taste. »Helmut Newton Helmut Newton (1920-2004) Australian photographer of German origin. He is known for his fashion photographs and female nudes. The Grands Nus photographer loved provocation and scandal, and was a past master of erotic photography. His work traces a personal vision of the world of fashion, money and power, through often very crude images. His photos, sometimes of sadomasochistic inspiration, attract the wrath of feminist associations. Born in Berlin in 1920, Helmut Neustaedter, of Jewish faith, took refuge in Singapore after Kristallnacht. He then moved to Australia. After the war, he opened a small fashion studio and worked as a freelance photographer, notably for the Australian edition of Vogue. He moved to Paris in 1956, then to Monte Carlo, and collaborated with the Jardin des modes, Elle, Queen, Playboy, Nova, Marie-Claire, Stern, as well as the various editions of Vogue (France, Italy, Grande -Brittany, United States, Australia). But it was in the 1970s that his personal style asserted itself. The French edition of Vogue, perhaps more daring than its foreign branches, is then the preferred landing point for its images where references to fashion, sexuality, money and power mingle. A sophisticated opulence characterizes his staging. The hotel, the villa, the swimming pool, the car, the plane, luxurious settings welcome women with sculptural, perfect bodies, but made of ice. We also owe him numerous portraits of celebrities such as Ava Gardner, Pierre Cardin, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Catherine Deneuve, Nastassia Kinski, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Paloma Picasso, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Prince Rainier of Monaco . Since 1975, he has published several books and his images are regularly exhibited in major museums. In 1984, the City of Paris Museum of Modern Art devoted a major retrospective to him. Some time before his death, he gave 1000 images to a Berlin gallery, expressing his pride in returning to his hometown. Newton never stopped working, driven by the image of the free, 20th century woman. Years later, the photographer would say: “I dressed the ideal woman while photographing her, she was feminine, cool, sexy, demanding and yet perfectly accessible provided you put effort and money into it.” He had said everything because luxury, money, fashion and power are all notions which serve as a backdrop to capture beauty and eroticism. Here, there is no sentimentality, the Newton woman is modern, embodied, powerful, fully feminine, undeniably charming and irresistibly insolent. Newton the mischievous seeks reactions without hesitating to offend the fashion sensibilities of the time with sometimes flashy scenarios. He was also one of the first fashion photographers to work in the street. His photos show how obsessed he was with light, decor, clothing and model. For him, all that matters is the perfect moment. On January 23, 2004, at the age of 83, photographer Helmut Newton died, crashing his Cadillac while leaving the parking lot of the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles, his car crashing into the opposite wall. “Women have a different sensitivity to the flesh. »Helmut Newton Sale as is, no return.
