A striking example of Helmut Newton’s provocative and cinematic photography , "Winnie On Deck, Cannes 1975" —also known as "Cruising from Behind" —captures Newton’s fascination with power dynamics, eroticism, and nautical romance .
Set against the opulent backdrop of the French Riviera , this photograph plays on the traditional hierarchies between captain and sailor , creating a bold, exaggerated, and sexually charged image. Newton, a longtime admirer of Monte Carlo’s elite lifestyle , masterfully uses the fantasy of the sea to heighten the scene’s allure. The dramatic addition of large false breasts and the hyper-feminine stance of Danish supermodel Winnie Holman (later the partner of Jack Nicholson and mother to his daughter) reinforces Newton’s signature mix of surrealism and seduction.
