Newton specialized in fashion photography but later became well known for his portraits of nude women.
I love his book
POLAROIDS :
This is the cover of the book. I believe it looks good as the white font stands out. Plus, the background colour of the title is orange and that matches with the blue from the image background. I also think that the position of the title is good as the left corner is the only free space let's say.
The background image is really nice, fashiony.
I must say that I love love love the inside. Text wise it is written the place, year or the magazine for which Newton was commissioned. I love the hand writing and the images. It looks like a critical journal where he stuck his images and wrote all those details. It looks more personal. I am starting to like Polaroids more and more. I like manual things so I would be up for that.
Also, it's only one image per page..there is a lot of white space left which is good because it gives the viewer the chance to focus more on the actual image whereas if he had 2 or 3 or more pictures on a page it would be too much and confusing.Yes, the last 2 pages have 4 images on a single sheet of paper but those ones are similar and part of the same story which I think is acceptable.
I want to do fashion photography so I am really interested in his work and books as well!
