'Helmut Newton said, 'There is never too little light. If you have a tripod, and a little lamp, you can make a beautiful picture,' he says. 'Penn showed me importance of using equal amounts of light, that if you use a strong direct flash, there should be equal indirect soft light. Light is photography, and both of those men know it.'
i like his relaxed, looser works like the one with bellucci and the lipstick and all those fashion photos where tension sort of ripples under the surface a lot more than all those staged shots with all those s&m props which i kind of hate ooo and i just saw the hunger with denevue and it's like a newton picture in motion...the lesbian sex scene was beautiful
I don't know if this is appropriate for this thread, but when did he last photograph Daria? Or if she wasn't the last girl, who was it and when?
Italian Vogue ran a posthumous shoot with Mariacarla Boscono, proclaiming it as the 'last' of something, but I can't recall what. It was certainly one of his final shoots, if not just his last for the magazine...

i agree. the staged ones seem to be almost out of character for him. his earlier works are absolutely fantastic! thanks for the photos! pavement, is that erin o'connor? just curious. it's a wonderful image.
