Helmut Newton, A Gun for Hire - Reviews
"The title is an adaptation of a quote from the photographer, who died last year at 82. While wildly celebrated, he objected to the preciousness associated with his art, insisting, despite all evidence to the contrary, that his role was as a rented shooter. Indeed, the work in this beautifully compiled collection is culled from a number of assignments, and cherry-picked with impeccable taste by his widow, June. Comprising his fashion work from 1962 through to 2003, the book shows how steady Newton`s gaze remained, even as fashion reinvented itself."New York Post, New YorkUnited States |
