Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover
Audacious and controversial, Helmut Newton raised the nude photograph to an art form. Born in Berlin in 1920, Newton always wanted to be a photographer. He has specialized in photographing women, giving them a uniquely stylized and glossy look. He is highly sought after for fashion photography and portraits of celebrities. This fascinating program shows Newton at work in the society centers of the world. It also features the photographer talking about his life and work, and interviews several of his famous subjects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helmut Traveling Road Show, July 7, 2000
By "jazz_it" (Rye, New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews
Helmut Newton - Frames From the Edge is a video primarily geared towards the ardent fan of photography. However, a person who is interested in the development of 20th century pop culture would certainly be more than amused by this wonderful video. The most striking aspect that shines throughout the video is Helmut's fun loving and sparkling personality. Witty, adventurous and most of all - fun loving - Helmut keeps the viewer informed and amused. Not at all like many photography videos centered in the class room, the range of locales in this video is dazzling. More importantly, the camera follows Helmut during shoots, conducting interviews with potential models, and riding with Helmut in Los Angeles. In the age where technological gadgets seem to proliferate it is telling that Helmut reveals that he uses one or two cameras to conduct his work. In summary, the photography fan would learn a great deal and the pop culture fan would learn why Helmut Newton is an important 20th Century icon. Much like Helmut's personality this video merits five stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good taste?, July 21, 2005
By ld (Bozeman, MT) - See all my reviews
This is a fun documentary on Helmut Newton. I was at his lecture at the New School and the film gives you the same feel for him and his work. Most of the photos are sexy, he has a wonderful photographic identity, you can always spot his work. The DVD and video (they are not exactly the same) are worth watching for any serious fashion or commercial photographer. This is not a how to do a photo DVD. However, if you pay attention he tells you a lot about how he likes to work. Straight ahead, almost no camera hardware or crew and lots of vision. You know he saw the shot before he took it.

3.0 out of 5 stars good, October 3, 2007
I have never been a fan of Newton but I got the DVD to learn more about him. Interesting but not great. I have seen other DVD on other famous photographers much more interesting and done better

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Bio, But not super.
Good bio. Gives you the life and times of this man. Some nudity, but overall the whole DVD was just okay. Nothing ground breaking or earth shattering.
