Berlin Hosts Hollywood-Themed Photography Exhibition

Do you remember the iconic shot of actress Elizabeth Taylor in a swimming pool holding a green parrot? German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton created this portrait of Taylor during a shoot for Vanity Fair in the 1980s.

It is just one of the many gems on display at an exhibition of works focusing on Hollywood, with many by iconic photographer Newton (1920-2004), according to the German News Agency (dpa).

They are now on show at the Berlin Museum of Photography, suitably, as Newton's photographic estate is administered by Berlin, where he was born.

The photographer made his name portraying celebrity actors and actresses, well-known directors and famous musicians for magazines in the 1980s. Many of his works resemble stills from famous Hollywood films, as he often staged photographs based on cinematic scenes.

While Newton's works are the focal point in the exhibition, you can also see photographs by other photographers, all focusing on Hollywood. The exhibition runs until November 20.
