Helmut Newton was one of the great fashion photographers. He passed away in 2004 at the age of 83. He shot for Paris Vogue, London Vogue and many other fashion magazines and for famous fashion designers for decades. His work was very controversial due to it's provocative nature. Lots of nudes, fantasy and S/M scenes but also a lot of humor. He also did great portraiture, especially his celebrity photos.
The exhibit was at the Grand Palais. Because it was a photography exhibit, there was strictly no photo taking allowed. I did snap a few photos from inside the building, looking out at the patio cafe.
The Helmut Newton photos are from Google Images. If you want to see more of his work, check out Google Images.....there are hundreds of them. In order not to offend any of the readers of my blog, I chose not to post some of what I considered great photos.....of course some people, I'm sure, would not agree.
