Helmut Newton: The Era of the Big Nudes
The Paris and Monaco Period

In the late 1970s, Helmut Newton pushed past the confines of commercial photography and entered a new, radical phase of artistic exploration. From his Paris studio and frequent stays in Monaco, he created the now-legendary Big Nudes series, transforming the human form into towering symbols of strength, sexuality, and elegance. This period redefined both his career and the boundaries of photography itself, as Newton explored themes of power, voyeurism, and vulnerability with striking technical precision and theatrical boldness.
