Luckily for us, legendary photographer Helmut Newton saved his test Polaroids, allowing a privileged and rare chance to see the tests from a selection of his greatest shoots over a period of decades, including many from the TASCHEN titles SUMO, A Gun for Hire, and Work. What was once a crucial tool for photographers to test their shots before shooting on film has now become obsolete in the face of digital photography. Polaroids occupy a special place in the hearts of many photo enthusiasts who remember a time when “instant photography” meant one-of-a-kind prints that developed within minutes of clicking the shutter.

On real film, his average was three rolls: one or two for him, the third in case something went wrong in the lab for one or two. It told him what he wanted to know, and it allowed him to correct whatever had to be corrected before he used whatever camera he was using. Otherwise, he went out on every job, prepared. Chance was taken when an unexpected element presented itself. They always did, but they were meant as guides for him before the actual shoot took place. So this is the reason I’ve exhibited them, for they have a life of their own. Some were sold to people who saw the value of them some ended up in auctions. I used many of them as place cards for dinner parties.
But this exhibition proves that they were not always necessary, as often one can’t tell the difference between the Polaroid and the actual photograph.
