Whether you love his images or hate them, one can't deny that Helmut Newton will go down as one of the most influential fashion photographers the world has known. A new book, Helmut Newton: A Gun For Hire, celebrates his work with more than 200 pages of delicious and often decadent photos that re-visit many fashion looks, some of which you’ll want to reproduce in your own wardrobe right now (the cover shot) and others you might want to save for a more, er, costume-like occasion (check out some of the Italian Vogue shots). Better yet, the book is priced to suit the budgets of most fashion victims—it’s just $39.99. Not free, but in the world of coffee-table books, a relative bargain.
$39.99 at taschen.com.
