Helmut Newton – Femmes Secrètes
First Edition Hardcover | Albin Michel, Paris, 1999

Femmes Secrètes is a striking monograph by legendary fashion and erotic photographer Helmut Newton, published in collaboration with French journalist Philippe Garnier. Released by Albin Michel in 1999, this book pairs Newton’s unmistakable black-and-white photography with Garnier’s poetic prose, celebrating the allure, mystery, and unapologetic power of the female form.

With Newton’s signature mix of elegance and provocation, the images in Femmes Secrètes depict women who are both subjects and symbols—enigmatic, commanding, and always unforgettable. The tone is cinematic, the composition precise, and the mood undeniably sensual.

This edition is beautifully printed and bound, making it an essential addition to any serious collection of fashion photography, erotic art, or 20th-century visual culture.
