Was fortunate enough to work with both Helmet Newton and Alex Liberman in my younger years. A true honor.

It is amazing looking at photographers now and seeing how many were inspired by his style

I assisted Helmut in 1986 when he shot promotional stills for Roman Polanski's movie "Frantic" with Harrison Ford and Emmanuelle Seigner. We photographed Ford and Seigner in the streets of Paris at night with his Hasselblad and a flashlight duct-taped to a little stand. We did more photos the next day and after, he took me to German restaurant and we had sausages together. It was like having lunch with a very sweet and nice uncle.

Did you know this .......Newton’s photographic career starts, perhaps, in 1947, when he set up a photographic studio at 353 Flinders Lane - then the heart of Melbourne’s fashion industry. Just 26, he’d been stateless since 18, a working photographer since 16 or 17, and steeped in the garment trade since birth. By this time he’d become an Australian citizen and abandoned his birth name, Neustaedter, for something the Anglos wouldn’t find quite so intimidating. He had lived for some time in a detention camp in rural Victoria, detained as an “enemy alien” with many other German and Italian refugees, after being deported by the British from the first place he fled to, Singapore.

I like fashion because i dont like sports

[@italialibera2102]

it is curious to see how today the styles and fashions of an entire planet pass through the lucubrations of a member of the gay community, notoriously hated and despised over the centuries
