biography
The photographer Helmut Newton (German, October 31, 1920 - January 23, 2004) was born as Helmut Neustädter in Berlin. He devoted himself to photography at a very early age and often neglected school as a result. In 1936 he finally dropped out of high school and in the same year began an apprenticeship with the then well-known Berlin photographer Yva (Else Neuländer). After the Nazis came to power, Newton fled Germany in 1938 and worked in Singapore and Australia during the Second World War, where he served in the Australian army for several years. In 1945 Newton opened a photo studio in Melbourne and returned to Europe in the 1950s. There he worked for Vogue, and later for numerous other magazines and fashion magazines such as Playboy and Elle. Newton traveled all over the world for his assignments and in the 1970s he became the most sought-after and expensive fashion photographer in the world. Newton's photographs are known for their dramatic, scenic lighting and the unconventional poses of the models. His work is often characterized as obsessive and sexually aggressive. In addition to many awards, Newton received the Kodak Photo Book Award for his book White Women (1976), the Life Legend Award from Life magazine and the American Institute of Graphic Arts Award. From 1981 onwards, Newton lived with his wife June Newton in Monaco and Los Angeles. At the age of 83, he died in a traffic accident in Los Angeles.
