Helmut Newton – 1976 April/May issue of Penthouse Photo World Helmut the Apprentice That’s the weight of art publisher Taschen’s monumental Helmut Newton: Sumo. The colossal 1999 monograph of the groundbreaking portrait and fashion photographer (1920-2004) was an extraordinarily ambitious publishing venture, and remains in several ways a cultural landmark.

Newton and his wife finally settled in Paris in 1961 and the work continued as a fashion photographer. His images appeared in magazines including the French edition of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Newton has said that he considers 40mm the “perfect focal length,” although a lot of his work is shot using the Rollei and Hasselblad and standard 80mm prime lenses (the equivalent of 50mm in 35mm photography.)
