She is wearing a sweater, wide pants, and knee-high boots. She is leaning forward, resting her elbows on her knees. The subtle smile on her lips is giving her a soft expression. Around her, old car tires are stacked, creating a wall behind her and contrasting her light skin and her soft expression.

His archive is one of the most extensive in the world and includes Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Billy Joel, Julia Roberts, Keith Richards, Ray Charles, James Brown, Queen Latifah...

Roxanne Lowit's backstage photography of the 80s and 90s is iconic and helped shape the cultural world of the late 20th century. This Portrait was taken at the Vivienne Westwood fall-fashion show in Paris in 1995. The Collection was titled 'Vive la Cocotte' and focused on undergarments to create exaggerated silhouettes. In typical Westwood style, the show was a contrast to the classic 90s aesthetic, which is perfectly captured in this Portrait of the Model Nadja Auermann. She is wearing a Corset top richly adorned with ruffles, bows, and flower print. Her black leather gloves contrast the light tulle skirt and stola. She looks directly at the camera with pursed lips, even further exaggerating her porcelain doll makeup. The classic Vivienne Westwood pearl choker...

Helmut Newton, Paris - Portrait of the Photographer, Fine Art Photography, 1996
Located in Vienna, AT
Black and white Portrait of the famous Photographer Helmut Newton holding his Camera, photographed by Roxanne Lowit in 1996.
All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request.
All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery.
Helmut Newton is renowned for his provocative and daring fashion photography that revolutionized the industry. Born in 1920 in Berlin, Newton became famous for his work with Vogue and other major fashion magazines, where his bold and often controversial style stood out. His photography is characterized by a striking blend of glamour, eroticism, and often surreal elements, which challenged traditional notions of beauty and femininity. Helmut Newton's legacy lies in his fearless approach to fashion photography, his unique ability to blend art with commercial photography, and his influence on future generations of photographers who continue to draw inspiration from his iconic style.
Roxanne Lowit photographed her colleague in Paris in 1996, capturing him with his camera in hand.
Daring poses, red lips, crooked smiles, and sex appeal characterize the photographic oeuvre of the late Roxanne Lowit. Catapulting us straight back into a decade of excess and ecstasy, her unfiltered lens into the 90s reveals more than ever. Uninterested in glossy façades, the star photographer captured the unseen without being voyeuristic. Eternalizing the prime of supermodel culture with Kate Moss and Naomie Campbell, enfant terribles of the art circus...

Iman is not only the wife of David Bowie but also a successful supermodel and actress. She studied political science in Egypt. This image created by Michel Comte depicts her from the side, capturing her independent and cool attitude. She is lying on her back, only wearing cow print over-knee boots attached to a belt. A cigarette is sticking between her lips as she is reaching between her legs with one hand. The majority of the image is a soft gradient of grey.
The piece is simple, inviting the viewer to step closer. The model's enticing profile offers details to explore. Her pose and the cigarette between her lips add a rebellious touch.

Portrait photography can be a powerful part of your wall decor. Find a provocative and compelling portrait that speaks to you and you might find that the photograph will speak to your guests too.
Prior to the development of photography, which eventually replaced portrait paintings as a quicker and more efficient way of capturing a person’s essence, the subject of a portrait had to sit for hours until the painter had finished. In 1839, chemist and Philadelphia-based photographer Robert Cornelius didn’t have to wait very long for his portrait. In a matter of minutes, he captured what many believe to be the first portrait photograph. This shot was also the first self-portrait (or what we now call a “selfie”), and fine photography quickly became an art form.
Landscape photography, nude photography and portrait photography are very popular in today's modern interiors. A portrait can reveal a lot about the person in it. It can also add a narrative touch to your decor. You’ll often find that photographs of loved ones work well as decorative touches. A portrait of a family member or dear friend can help turn a house into a home, warming any space by evoking fond memories.
While family portraits can stir emotion, portraits of celebrities and important historical figures can also add a rich dynamic to your space. Portraits of famous musicians or intriguing actors hung in your dining room or home bar shot by Gered Mankowitz or Annie Leibovitz might inspire deep conversation over meals or drinks. Douglas Kirkland is also famous for his celebrity portraits. His photojournalism made him much sought after by Hollywood studios to document the filming of movies. In Kirkland’s powerful depiction of Hollywood stars, he excellently captures the glamour of their lives.
Other artists like Elliott Erwitt stand out by turning portraiture into a playful art form. Before graduating from high school in Hollywood, Erwitt had already begun to teach himself to take pictures, inspired by the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson. In image after image, Erwitt captured what photographers call “the moment” with rapier wit and penetrating humanity.
Portrait photography can be incredibly expressive, setting the tone and mood for a room. And there are different ways of incorporating portrait photography into your interior decor. If you’re thinking about adding color photography to a bedroom or living room, the colors of the portraits can become part of the room’s palette, while portraits shot in black and white won’t disrupt an existing color scheme.
On 1stDibs, find a vast selection of portrait photography from different eras, including 1950s portraits, 1960s portrait photography and more.
