Imprescindible.
En cuanto a calidad-contenido-precio posiblemente la mejor manera de conocer la obra de Helmut Newton. Una recopilación muy variada de su increíble trabajo.

[R. Alejandro V. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un libro ideal para conocer la atrevida obra de este gran fotógrafo. Me encantó. En sus casi 300 páginas podremos apreciar distintos aspectos de su obra, desde sus clásicas fotos para revistas de modas pasando por retratos de famosos personajes hasta su (grandiosa para mi) serie de los Big Nudes.

En cuanto al libro mismo lo que más me decepcionó fue que estaba en tapa blanda. Lo encontré extraño pues para un libro de este tamaño (más o menos grande) y con el grosor de sus hojas, lo más lógico era la tapa dura como había sido su edición original (2000), pues si, esta es una edición del 2016.

Todo amante de la buena fotografía y del arte en general, me atrevería a decir, debe tener este libro. 100% recomendado.

Visually, browsing this book is a great experience. I liked the choice of photographs that are published and their arrangement.

As to the accompanying texts, I was not entirely satisfied.
Helmut Newton is able to combine the non combinable: his personal vision with the specific and somehow closed world of fashion, sexuality with humour and uncommon luxury with the everyday life.
I would therefore like to read something more about his personal history and his outlook on life, fashion and photography.
I did not really like the introductory essay and the biography at the end of the book was deplorably short.

Then again, the title says Helmut Newton: Work, so I suppose I will just have to look for Helmut Newton: Life.

This is an absolutely phenomenal selection of Photographies. I haven't read/looked through any other Helmut newton books, so I can really compare. Overall, I'm just a big fan of his work, and therefore perhaps a bit biased. No one does chic and sexy better than Helmut Newton and going through this book was like opening a new present every page. I don't know if anyone would find this book as sort of "made for the male-gaze" if that's your view, I must just say that I absolutely disagree. The Models in his photos, always appears very powerful and confident, I think he understood how to showcase women with respect and admiration. That shows in his work, which is really nice.

Sadly I just borrowed this book, and I don't own it, which is such a shame.

As a table book and review selected different genres shots of Helmut Newton, it is a good one. It cold be a little be better if portraits and some of the famous works added but remember this is just a selected photo-shots of Newton's the late.
