and WHAT a way to go

(in the driveway of Chateau Marmont)

Helmut Newton was the Ansel Adams of erotica.  His black and white images transcended porn and became art.

Wouldn't it have been interesting if he had done some hard-core photography in the style only he could achieve?

I've always considered Helmut Newton the premier still photographer of women and Andrew Blake the premier film photographer of women.
While I still enjoy Blake's work as an erotic turn-on, a number of years ago, I started to appreciate the care he takes with composition, lighting, editing, etc. He is, as he says, an erotic film-maker, as opposed to a pornographer.
