Helmut Newton was a fashion photographer renowned for stylised, often erotic black-and-white imagery that forged a provocative, cinematic look from the 1960s onwards. Working for leading magazines and maisons, he staged power, glamour and risk with exacting formal control.

His photographs—high-contrast, theatrical and meticulously composed—challenged conventions of fashion and portraiture alike. Newton’s legacy is a visual vocabulary of luxe and danger that continues to shape how fashion is imagined and performed.
