Photographer Just Loomis began assisting Helmut Newton in 1980 in Los Angeles and would go on to work on several shoots with Newton over a period of several years in locations as varied as Omaha, Munich, Miami, Paris, and Milan. Instead of asking for remuneration for the last shoot he assisted on, Loomis requested instead for payment in prints. Newton sent these four intimately sized prints of some of his most iconic images, accompanied by a hand-written letter.

The launch of Loomis’ book Backstage, published by Hatje Cantz, took place at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin in 2009.
