Helmut Newton Saddle I Paris at Hotel Lancaster Photography Print

This black and white composition captures a model in a provocative pose, draped with an equestrian saddle while kneeling on a floral bed. The contrast between the soft textures of the Hotel Lancaster interior and the hard leather of the saddle defines this print. Every detail, from the polished riding boots to the dramatic shadows of the bedside lamps, reflects the cinematic fashion photography of the 1970s.
