Helmut Newton was one of the first photographers of fashion and eroticism I fell in love with. He took amazing shots of women in couture clothes and with a style that portrayed them in a position of power and desire.
With all this talk of Instagram being sold to Facebook. It reminds me of the polariod effects you see on our mobile photo editors. But Helmut took real polaroids! There is a show and book about his work out too.
Maybe instagram is the best way to access that technique these days, but check Newtons work out, there is something we can gleen from him.

A friend gave me a Helmut Newton book in 1992 and I was captivated by it back then and still am. As someone who came to photography during the digital age I always kinda rolled my eyes at those who waxed on about how much better film looks. But I'm starting to see what makes film special, especially with the boom in popularity of polaroid shots over the past few years. Have you seen Coach Moon's stuff? Scroll down to see his expired film shots.
