A new documentary pays tribute to Helmut Newton, the King of Kink📷 'The Bad and the Beautiful' by Gero von Boehm unpacks the fashion photographer's provocative work. Read more about the upcoming documentary here:
, it was a great honour, but also a worry,” says Isabella Rossellini. “Going to set for the first time, I had a lot of trepidation, but instead I found a playful old man, full of charm and humour...”
“We met in Paris through mutual friends,” Gero says over the phone from his home in Berlin. “I think it was in 1997 at a dinner and immediately we found each other because we have the same sense of humour. I liked how boyish he was." On what would have been his 100th birthday, it made sense to tell his remarkable story to a new generation. “His photographs were made for the big screen,” the director adds.
By 1940, he'd moved to Australia, where he remained for the next two decades, before moving to London in 1957, after winning a contract to shoot with. It was in Australia he met his wife, June, who was also a photographer in her right, working under the name Alice Springs . He wrote in his 2003 autobiography that “It was a totally different affair from any I'd had with any other girl. All the other girls were really only about fucking. With her there was another dimension.
But his work and his view on women is never off the hook, either. In one particularly awkward scene -- from a French TV segment back in 1979 -- Helmet is being interviewed alongside writer Susan Sontag, who criticises his work. Helmet expresses his fondness for women by saying,"J'adore les femmes", Susan sharply interjects,"Many misogynistic men claim that."
