Book description
Polaroids occupy a special place in the hearts of many photo enthusiasts who remember a time when "instant photography" meant 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. Selected by his widow, June Newton, from over 300 photos featured at the 2011 exhibition "Helmut Newton Polaroids" at the Museum fΓΌr Fotografie in Berlin, this collection captures the magic of Helmut Newton photo shoots as only Polaroids can.

Navigating through chapters is a breeze. It's like having a personal reading guide. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
