Playboy Gallery: Helmut Newton

Playboy Gallery: Helmut NewtonHelmut Newton is no stranger to the pages of Playboy. His compelling, sexually charged photographs prove him the master of the edgier outreaches of the erotic. Case in point: his August 1977 interpretation of Madame Claude, the softcore brothel fantasy from director Just (Emmanuelle) Jaeckin. Employing two French models, a well-appointed drawing room and a gentleman who obviously knows what he likes, Newton perfectly captured the sensual energy of the film.
