I tried to import this post from the daily mail about this discovery of mine of apparently a well celebrated photographer by the name of Helmut Newton
here is a small read
I discovered him by watching "'How To Be A Russian Oligarch' With Billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov" on youtube on the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert channel there
I don't usually pick on title like that but I felt to watch it for a change from the crypto world I am constantly researching
Anyways I was stunned by a shot at minute 6:25
Loved the solid, strong posture of that beautiful woman in black and white
My curiosity led me to search for the name on that book cover and so I went for images search on google
I was attracted by yet another photo that seemed taken on a funny angle making the head looks smaller that it is from the rest of the body emphasizing, unintentionally, the lower body part
The classical skirt lift from the bag, genius!
At first I thought it was a chosen technique by the photographer and that what made it interesting to me
A slight distortion of reality and the defiant look on the model made it a controversial photo to me kinda like if she was saying "you can kiss my a" or "what are these people laughing about?"
I thought it was fantastic
Another controversial photo
Liked this one too...
I named this one "Tension"...
And there it was the picture from that cover, I had to dig a little bit more to find it, from the Album Big Nudes III, 1994
And it strucked me when I saw her in a more clear picture, my youtube video was at the lowest quality I think as you can see in the screenshot above
That picture I saw when I was a little kid somehow, i think it was on a magazine or someone had it cropped out from it, I can't really remember but that was a segment of my child memory and I even didn't know it till i saw her face
It seems that I was droned by her by the same attraction I had at early age
It is amazing how the laws of the cosmos works sometimes, has it not been for the internet or youtube that woman probably would have never emerged in my memory ever again which it's kinda sad but romantic at same time...
This was a pleasant surprise at the end of my research and I believe it was worth it all the way
Henrietta
is her name...it took me almost 20 years to put a name on her...
wow
I surely went on an unattended trip with this finding and it was all because of the magic of this man and his vision
Helmut Newton
