Playboy Gallery: Helmut Newton

November, 1995

When Playboy wants to put a little kink in the creative process, it turns to Helmut Newton, the photographer who scandalized the fashion world when he began mixing glamour and the perversely erotic. We wondered how his European vision would interpret the all-American beauty of our Playmates, so we invited him to work with nine of our finest. The results appeared in our September 1987 issue, including this image of 1984 Playmate of the Year Barbara Edwards.
