The color photographs in this book appear over saturated and perhaps many were made using Kodachrome which is a rather notorious high contrast color positive 35mm film. The black and white photographs have a wonderful tonality and contrast. This book provides a broad sampling of Newton’s body of work including his commercial fashion work and portraits as well as his personal nude projects, such as Big Nudes. The first edition hardbound book was initially published by Schirmer/Mosel in 1991. Schirmer/Mosel which is the late Helmut Newton’s long term publishing partner has just re-issued a softback version their Best of Helmut Newton edited by Zdenek Felix with the art direction by June Newton, Helmut’s wife.
