Left, polaroid by Helmut Newton, Untitled, 1976. Via. Right, photograph by Helmut Newton, Untitled, 1976. Via. [I’d love to know which editorial this is from, send me a note if you have an idea.]

Helmut Newton used the [Polaroid] technology intensively starting in the 1970s, especially for his fashion photo shoots. As he once described in an interview, this satisfied his impatient urge to want to know immediately how a certain situation would look as a photograph. In this context, the Polaroid acted as an idea sketch in addition to testing the actual lighting situation and image composition.
