Helmut Newton, a photographer, was born into a wealthy Jewish family in Berlin during the Weimar Republic. He apprenticed under Yva, a pioneer in commercial photography, before his family's persecution by the Nazi regime. Newton escaped to Australia, where he met his partner June, and later settled in Paris. He evolved his style, blending fashion and art, amidst the radical changes of 1960s France. Newton's work, often featuring bold, "Aryan"-esque women, reflected on his past and the tumultuous history of Germany.
