Instant Newton - A collection of Helmut Newton's test Polaroids.

Polaroids occupy a special place in the hearts of many photo enthusiasts who remember a time when "instant photography" meant a one-of-a-kind prints that developed within minutes of clicking the shutter.

What was once a crucial tool for photographers to test their shots before shooting on film has now become obsolete in the face of digital photography.

Luckily for us, legendary photographer Helmut Newton saved his test Polaroids, allowing a privileged and rare chance to see the tests from a selection of his greatest shoots over a period of decades, including many from the TASCHEN titles; SUMO, A Gun for Hire, and Work.

Put together by his widow, June Newton, his collection captures the magic of Helmut Newton photo shoots as only Polaroids can.
Industry Reviews
"This rare and unique title showcases the work of Helmut Newton, possibly fashion's greatest photographer. Spartanly designed with just one or two Polaroid-sized images per page, the book contains test shots used by Newton to help frame his subjects and refine the final images from some of his greatest shoots over a period of decades." * Real Travel *
"Decouvrir ces Polaroids aujourd'hui nous permet de jeter un regard en coulisses, de voir comment se construisait un univers de fantasmes brulants. Passionnants." * La Depeche du Midi *
"La reference. Les instantanes d'Helmut Newton en une synthese eblouissante. Des femmes immenses, longilignes, musclees. Des poses cassees, sensuelles, appuyees. L'attitude en trois cents photos instantanees." * Elle Belgique *
"Newton sous Polaroid. C'est un ouvrage aussi rare que precieux ... une selection, sobre et epuree. Plus qu'un simple making-of." * Le Monde de la Photo.com *
"Le livre est empli de beaute, de sensualite et de mystere. A admirer sans moderation." * Le Soir *
"Esquises esquisses. Ce catalogue a le charme des arriere-cuisines...Le plaisir du spectateur a fourrer son oeil dans le moteur se double ainsi d'une vraie redecouverte de cliches celebres en pleine mutation, deja touches par l'oeil petrificateur de Newton, mais encore traverses par un dernier frisson de realite." * Weekend Le Vif L'Express *
