This is a photographic love story that follows the fifty-five years of collaboration, partnership, and history of Helmut and June Newton. First published in 1998, their legendary joint work Us and Them was presented in a book and accompanying exhibitions. The first part of the book – Us – contains personal portraits of each other and self-portraits taken over various decades, revealing the affection and intimacy behind each image, bringing to the surface nostalgia for time. It is a photographic diary that records the life of Helmut and June Newton away from the public eye. The second part of the book – Them – is a rich journey through time, where the master's lens reveals impressive portraits of a series from chapters, celebrities, important cultural figures, and some of the most famous faces of the era. From Catherine Deneuve, Anjelica Huston, David Hockney, and Timothy Leary to Peter Beard, Yves Saint Laurent, Thierry Mugler, Jane Birkin, and Charlotte Rampling, among others. The portraits taken by Helmut and June Newton during various sessions are presented side by side in pairs, revealing two aspects of the same personality. This volume undoubtedly highlights that the life and work of Helmut and June Newton were inextricably linked in every way. One was not strong without the other.
