Helmut Newton built a reputation for his erotic sexually charged imagery. He explored this Field heavily with his photography and was famed for it. Having travelled a lot and worked in Australia, london and Paris he settled in America in later life where he later released books of his images.
I found his work quite dark and disturbing. I felt angry when seeing his images and then intrigued mostly at the way in which he saw women. They just seemed like pieces of meat, animals that he positioned in quite vulnerable positions. I also found some of the images quite disturbing especially the ones of women strewn across the grass, half naked with a dark male figure lurking in the back ground.

women always seem to be in victim roles in his work. It seemed like his work was always playing a power dynamic. I didn't like his style much at all.

Another interesting image. A playboy bunny. Famed for being objectified.
