Who is Helmut Newton?

One of my greatest inspirations.

31.10.1920
Born in Berlin (DE)

He resided in Monte Carlo and Los Angeles

Helmut Newton determined to become a photographer from his teenage years when he worked as apprentice to the fashion photographer Yva. He left for Singapore just before World War II, then spent seventeen years in Australia before returning to Europe. He lived for many years in Paris and it was in that city that he built his reputation. He has worked for numerous magazines, notably French and American Vogue, Vanity Fair, Stem, Marie-Claire, Nova, and Playboy, and has published several best-selling books.
