Summary
Helmut Newton， a master of provocation， intrigued and scandalized the world for half a century with his daring photos of women and his reputation as "bad boy"。 His controversial book White Women， published in 1976， earned him the sobriquet of King of Kink and Prince of Porn。 In his memoirs Newton presents a candid image of himself， recounting an entire life of adventures and revealing a lucidity which provides the link between his life and his work。 His childhood in Berlin， his flight from Nazi Germany， his time as a gigolo in Singapore， his experiences in the Australian army， his relationship with his wife June， and much more。 For the first time， Newton tells his story in his own words， with unbridled energy and absolute charm。

Унылое повествование об амурных похождениях и ничего полезного о ремесле。

"to write about one's success， small or big， is simply of no interest to the reader。 Getting there is what this book is all about。"PROs+ autobiography of Helmut Newton sharing his life with strangers+ great batch of biographic photos+ insights in to the fashion magazine 'terrain vague'+ a dedicated part of the book to "about my work"CONs- lack of conclusions and linkage， but it suits Newtowns blitz style- mentions of things rather than building stories and combining them into single-shot plotSUM "to write about one's success， small or big， is simply of no interest to the reader。 Getting there is what this book is all about。"PROs+ autobiography of Helmut Newton sharing his life with strangers+ great batch of biographic photos+ insights in to the fashion magazine 'terrain vague'+ a dedicated part of the book to "about my work"CONs- lack of conclusions and linkage， but it suits Newtowns blitz style- mentions of things rather than building stories and combining them into single-shot plotSUMMA SUMMARUM A autobiography written by photographer hints upfront that one should not expect too much fro the book， as photographers tell stories in photos， not words。 Pictures in the book are more interesting than written text and unfortunately Newton is not sharing too much how he came up with those pictures。 。。。more

Poco sabía de la vida de Helmut Newton hasta que cayó en mis manos este libro de quien fue uno de los mejores fotógrafos de moda que ha existido。Famoso por su irreverencia y provocación， lo conocía por algunos de sus trabajos más representativos， pero hasta que llegó a mis manos esta biografía， puño y letra del mismo Newton， no había imaginado la asombrosa， agitada， sufrida y a la vez divertida vida que tuvo。Una vida de película; sin vergüenzas narra su juventud en Alemania， su huida a China con Poco sabía de la vida de Helmut Newton hasta que cayó en mis manos este libro de quien fue uno de los mejores fotógrafos de moda que ha existido。Famoso por su irreverencia y provocación， lo conocía por algunos de sus trabajos más representativos， pero hasta que llegó a mis manos esta biografía， puño y letra del mismo Newton， no había imaginado la asombrosa， agitada， sufrida y a la vez divertida vida que tuvo。Una vida de película; sin vergüenzas narra su juventud en Alemania， su huida a China con apenas 18 años escapando de la persecución nazi， solo， sin prácticamente un marco en el bolsillo y sin profesión excepto su cámara y su fascinación por la misma。 Como se detuvo en Singapur y sobrevivió como gigoló y fotógrafo a destajo。 Su siguiente huida a Australia cuando empezó la guerra， prisionero alemán de los australianos， logra salir del centro de detención entrando al ejército australiano donde se las arregló para no hacer nada aparentando que hacía。 Sus primeros trabajos para las revistas de moda de Australia en la post-guerra y sus contratos más importantes en Francia y Nueva York trabajando principalmente para Vogue y Elle。Newton tenía una gracia innata en la vida que le ayudó a sobrevivir como un judío exiliado sin nacionalidad y esa gracia se refleja en este libro， se deja leer y es el testimonio de un hombre que se sobrepuso a las dificultades con inteligencia y esfuerzo y supo burlarse con ironía de ese mismo mundo de la moda y el glamour que le pagaba las cuentas del Porsche。 。。。more

"I always keep some chains in the trunk of my car， since I never know who I might want to tie up。" I'm paraphrasing a great story told to me by photographer George Holz， who assisted Helmut Newton。 Newton is an all time great of photography。 His work continues to be （mostly unsuccessfully） imitated。 In this origin-story bio， Newton lays out where he came from， and how he arrived at his style。 While he is doing what could be called erotic art， Newton is never pornographic - he's a model of restra "I always keep some chains in the trunk of my car， since I never know who I might want to tie up。" I'm paraphrasing a great story told to me by photographer George Holz， who assisted Helmut Newton。 Newton is an all time great of photography。 His work continues to be （mostly unsuccessfully） imitated。 In this origin-story bio， Newton lays out where he came from， and how he arrived at his style。 While he is doing what could be called erotic art， Newton is never pornographic - he's a model of restraint - no pun intended - and very German。 As a writer， he's entertaining and charming。 A really fun book， it's a shame there will be no volume two， due to his untimely death。 。。。more

After reading this autobiography I understand the context of Newton's photographic aesthetic。 His focus on sex and scandal was driven by his personality， which as a young man with a very European viewpoint was preoccupied with and very open about sexual freedoms。 My initial interest in reading about Newton's life was driven by the fact that he is a photographer， but I found myself more interested in the rest of his life （which is astounding in it's own right）。 His escapades involving women were After reading this autobiography I understand the context of Newton's photographic aesthetic。 His focus on sex and scandal was driven by his personality， which as a young man with a very European viewpoint was preoccupied with and very open about sexual freedoms。 My initial interest in reading about Newton's life was driven by the fact that he is a photographer， but I found myself more interested in the rest of his life （which is astounding in it's own right）。 His escapades involving women were laughable and entertaining and balanced out the fear and uncertainty that was present due to hsis circumstances as a German Jew during WWII and having to uproot his life again and again。 Overall I was captivated and impressed by his drive to success and his willingness to take risks to survive and thrive。 。。。more

What a fascinating man！ I truly appreciate the authors honesty。 I can not recall ever reading a book that was this honest - I absolutely adored it。The story of this book is so wonderful - what a great life， without being an arrogant ass or begging for fame like most these days。 I found myself actually sad that I could not be a part of such a rich story or life。Thank you for sharing the story of your life！

I really enjoyed this book。 I think it was really well written， and revealed Newton as a rather honest， down to earth person。 I liked the fact that he actually is capable of admitting his weaknesses， and telling the world how he screwed up at times。 I also admire his spirit - the transition from being a wealthy German teenager to a "nobody" in Singapore must have been pretty harsh。 But what I admire the most is how he worked his butt off to reach his goal and make his dreams come true。 I really enjoyed this book。 I think it was really well written， and revealed Newton as a rather honest， down to earth person。 I liked the fact that he actually is capable of admitting his weaknesses， and telling the world how he screwed up at times。 I also admire his spirit - the transition from being a wealthy German teenager to a "nobody" in Singapore must have been pretty harsh。 But what I admire the most is how he worked his butt off to reach his goal and make his dreams come true。 。。。more

Me encantó。 La edición en español tiene varios errores （entre ellos， repiten un párrafo completo en el segundo capítulo） pero la traducción es buena y en ningún momento se lee como una versión separada de la original。Newton no era literato pero explica bastante bien su vida， a pesar de algunas limitaciones del lenguaje。 En parte es una novela erótica， porque el sexo fue una prioridad para el autor y su obra。 La segunda parte， dedicada a su trabajo， es muy buena y explica algunas circunstancias a Me encantó。 La edición en español tiene varios errores （entre ellos， repiten un párrafo completo en el segundo capítulo） pero la traducción es buena y en ningún momento se lee como una versión separada de la original。Newton no era literato pero explica bastante bien su vida， a pesar de algunas limitaciones del lenguaje。 En parte es una novela erótica， porque el sexo fue una prioridad para el autor y su obra。 La segunda parte， dedicada a su trabajo， es muy buena y explica algunas circunstancias alrededor de sus obras más famosas。 Apto para fans y no fans。 。。。more

This is very interesting autobiographical book，about selfish person and brilliant photographer，Who is working 24 hours a day to achieve his aim。And also interesting is how he is describing himself，without any borders or frames which may irritate some people。 I like his manner of writting。it's very kind and sometimes shoking。He is using everything and everyone to create good image and he is saying that。Also interesting his perception of things and how he uses this percieved material in his photos This is very interesting autobiographical book，about selfish person and brilliant photographer，Who is working 24 hours a day to achieve his aim。And also interesting is how he is describing himself，without any borders or frames which may irritate some people。 I like his manner of writting。it's very kind and sometimes shoking。He is using everything and everyone to create good image and he is saying that。Also interesting his perception of things and how he uses this percieved material in his photos。 。。。more

For anyone who loves fashion， photography or life and love， this book is a must read。 Living through WWII as a jew， escaping， loving， living life and almost always care-free， that is Helmut Newton。

Perhaps Newton deserved a more pretentiously literate， debauched， elegant， and exquisitely fluent ghost writer to do justice to his brilliant narrative mind？ A terse， unsentimental， lean account of his career。

Really enjoyed Newton's takes on life， photography， business， and people。 He starts off describing his braty upbringing in a rich German Jewish family in Berlin。 Being a weak boy， his parents signed him up for gym run by two spinster sisters。 The one would push his legs when he lay on the floor in some odd exercise and he would fart in her face every time he could to try and get out of doing the exercise。。。 hilarious。 Clearly he describes his early obsession with women and his beginnings as a ph Really enjoyed Newton's takes on life， photography， business， and people。 He starts off describing his braty upbringing in a rich German Jewish family in Berlin。 Being a weak boy， his parents signed him up for gym run by two spinster sisters。 The one would push his legs when he lay on the floor in some odd exercise and he would fart in her face every time he could to try and get out of doing the exercise。。。 hilarious。 Clearly he describes his early obsession with women and his beginnings as a photographer。He escapes Berlin just in time in 1938。 When he was getting his passport， he describes a good German diplomat who received him screaming slurs and insluts etc。 As soon as the door was closed， he quietly told him where he had to go and what he had to do。 The door opens and he starts in where he left off telling the dirty Jew to get out。。。 Get Out！He ends up in Singapore， gets a few jobs here and there， but is more of a gigalo in his words than anything else。 Ends up in Australia picking peaches since most of the able bodied population was in the war。 After marrying in Melbourne after the war， he starts his studio。 Eventually he leaves for London and Vogue。。。 doesn't like London much and heads to Paris。 Does much better there and starts to take on the style that would make him famous。I really enjoyed how in his forties he still described himself as relatively unknown and knew there was much more to be done。 I liked how he preferred commission， editorial work and respected the access doors opened up through such work instead of focusing on fine art。 It was also very admirable how he would break contracts or leave a successful studio he had built to continue doing what he thought he should all the while ignoring what business minded people were telling him。 。。。more

FOR ME THIS BOOK IS FASANATING IN THAT HE IS SO HONEST IN SOME OF THE THINGS HE SAYS， FOR EXAMPLE HIS MOTHER SEEING ONE OF THEIR MAIDS LEAVING FOR HER DAY OFF （DRESSED AS WELL AS SHE） SO FIRED HER UPON HER RETURN BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT PEOPLE SHOULD STAY IN "THEIR PLACE"。 WHO WOULD ADMIT THAT？ ALSO HOW SPOILED AND OBNOXIOUS HE WAS AS A CHILD BUT HOW REALLY THAT IS HOW HE GOT WHERE HE DID， BY NOT CHANGING REALLY。 ALSO IT IS ALWAYS AMAZING TO SEE HOW PEOPLE WERE AFFECTED BY HAVING TO FLEE EUROPE WHEN FOR ME THIS BOOK IS FASANATING IN THAT HE IS SO HONEST IN SOME OF THE THINGS HE SAYS， FOR EXAMPLE HIS MOTHER SEEING ONE OF THEIR MAIDS LEAVING FOR HER DAY OFF （DRESSED AS WELL AS SHE） SO FIRED HER UPON HER RETURN BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT PEOPLE SHOULD STAY IN "THEIR PLACE"。 WHO WOULD ADMIT THAT？ ALSO HOW SPOILED AND OBNOXIOUS HE WAS AS A CHILD BUT HOW REALLY THAT IS HOW HE GOT WHERE HE DID， BY NOT CHANGING REALLY。 ALSO IT IS ALWAYS AMAZING TO SEE HOW PEOPLE WERE AFFECTED BY HAVING TO FLEE EUROPE WHEN HITLER WAS IN POWER AND WHERE THE ROAD LEAD FROM THERE。。。HIS PICTURE COLLECTIONS ARE REALLY AMAZING。 ALWAYS AMAZING TO ME THAT THE PHOTOGRAPHERS WITH BLACK AND WHITE COULD GET SUCH DEPTH OF FIELD。。BEAUTIFUL， AND OF COURSE HIS WORK WAS VERY EDGY AND TRUE TO HIS VISION。 。。。more

i'm not usually big on biographies or autobiographies， but i've realized i really enjoy reading those of artists。 they have a special way of storytelling and have THE most interesting lives。 i mean。。。most of newton's photos are of naked ladies - you have to assume he's got some stories to tell。 i'm not usually big on biographies or autobiographies， but i've realized i really enjoy reading those of artists。 they have a special way of storytelling and have THE most interesting lives。 i mean。。。most of newton's photos are of naked ladies - you have to assume he's got some stories to tell。 。。。more
