Helmut Newton (1920–2004) was one of the most influential
photographers of all time. He first achieved international fame in
the 1970s while working principally for the different internation
editions of Vogue, where he was celebrated for his controversial
scenarios and the ability to make a thoroughly planned photograph
seem fresh and dynamic. His many titles and awards include
Commandeur dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
Fashion photography is a competitive field, but there's one art
book above all that remains incredibly monumental: Helmut Newton's
SUMO.

TASCHEN reminds us what all the fuss was about with an anniversary
edition of SUMO, a collection of museum-sized prints bound and
elegantly packaged in a monochrome casing with one of Newton's
Giant Nudes on the cover, a hint at the arresting selection of
silver, pearl and shadow-toned captures within.
*LA Weekly*
Timeless. A reference work.
