Helmut Newton and Patrick DemarchelierTransgressive German photographer Helmut Newton, established a prolific body of work in his signature voyeuristic style that changed the landscape of 20th-century fashion photography. In 1985, the photographer would capture Elizabeth Taylor’s self-professed love affair with jewelry as she bathed in a Los Angeles pool accessorized with an emerald Bulgari parure set and a pet parrot. For Vanity Fair’s November 2014 cover, Patrick Demarchelier would look to Newton in photographing covergirl Jennifer Lawrence similarly bejeweled in the water. Demarchelier’s spread would also include a recreation of Avedon’s famed serpentine portrait of Nastassja Kinski.
