A stunning reproduction of a unique album of Helmut Newton's iconic photographs including many previously unseen images

German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton is one of the world's most iconic fashion photographers. Inspired by Expressionist cinema, film noir, and surrealism, Newton was a prolific image-maker and visionary whose daring work helped shape modern photography and visual art.

In 1999, along with collaborator Gert Elfering, Newton compiled a 'one off' photographic album of his boundary-pushing work. Helmut Newton: One-off reproduces this album in full, faithful the album's original size, as an exquisite facsimile, allowing readers to experience this remarkable object in full and to marvel at Newton's artistic process and ingenuity.

The stunning album is comprised of more than 100 photographs - 8 unique Polaroids, 16 chromogenic prints, and 79 gelatin silver prints - each accompanied by Newton's handwritten pencil annotation. Along with the album itself, the book includes a foreword by arts and photography expert Philippe Garner, as well as an insightful interview between Matthias Harder and Gert Elfering, together offering an immersive glimpse into Newton's creative process.
