Helmut Newton fled Nazi Germany for Australia at eighteen and eventually became one of the most influential fashion photographers of the postwar period, primarily through his work for Vogue Paris. His large-format nude and fashion photographs - depicting powerful, confrontational women - were both celebrated and contested for their explicit sexuality. He died in Los Angeles in 2004 following a car accident outside the Chateau Marmont.
