Helmut Newton - SUMO

 SUMO is a titanic book in every respect: it is a tribute to the twentieth century’s most influential, intriguing and controversial photographer. 

The biggest and most expensive book production in the 20th century!!

"SUMO, edited by June Newton, features a wide selection of over 400 pictures, most of which are published for the first time, covering every aspect of Newton’s outstanding career in photography: from his stunning fashion photographs, which pointed the way for generations of photographers, to his nudes and celebrity portraits."

 First page of the book... I like the size of the font but what I like the most is his signature.It looks so professional!! It looks personalized. It is quite big in the image above I wonder how big it looks in reality considering the fact that the book itself measures 50 x 70 cm and it has approx 30 kg. Wow! I want this book but I definitely can't afford it considering the fact that it's the most expensive production in the 20th century ( holly smokes- it's £ 9,000)

love the 2 pages spread photo

the writing on the left looks perfect with the image on the right
