Helmut Newton
is best known for his fashion and nude photography.
Helmut Newton was born in 1920. His father enrolled him in the American
School of Berlin, but he was expelled because he chose to dream about
photography, swimming, and girls instead of completing his schoolwork.
After studying for two years with Yva, Newton moved to Singapore and
accepted a position as a photojournalist for the Singapore Straits
Times. He was fired two weeks later due to incompetence. Helmut Newton
then moved to Australia in 1940 and served five years in the Australian
army. After he was discharged from the army, Newton opened a small
photography studio in Melbourne. In 1948, Newton married the actress
June Brunell. Newton began contributing fashion photos to French Vogue
in 1961 and continued to do so for twenty-five years. During this
time, he also was a regular fashion contributor to Linea Italiana,
Queen, Nova, Jardin des Modes, Marie-Claire, Elle, and American, Italian
and German Vogue. |
