Helmut Newton : One Off, Phaidon

A stunning reproduction of a unique album of Helmut Newton's iconic photographs, including many previously unseen images.

German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton is one of the world's most iconic fashion photographers. Inspired by Expressionist cinema, film noir, and surrealism, Newton was a prolific image-maker and visionary whose daring work helped shape modern photography. In 1999, together with friend and collector Gert Elfering, Newton compiled a 'One-off' photographic album of his boundary-pushing work. Helmut Newton: One-off reproduces this album in full, faithful to its original size, allowing readers to experience this remarkable object and marvel at Newton's process. The album comprises more than 100 photographs—8 unique Polaroids, 16 chromogenic prints, and 79 gelatin silver prints—each accompanied by Newton's handwritten pencil annotation. It includes a foreword by Philippe Garner, an interview between Matthias Harder and Gert Elfering, and a collector's statement by Nicola Erni. The One-off album forms part of the Nicola Erni Collection.
