Us and Them explores the dynamics of contrast and duality through Helmut Newton’s distinctive photographic style. The book captures human interactions, often emphasizing the tensions and connections between opposing figures or groups.

Newton’s images operate on an interplay of power, attraction, and social roles, presenting subjects in stark, sometimes provocative compositions. The 1999 edition from Scalo Publishers includes 199 pages that offer a deep engagement with these themes, reflecting Newton’s ability to provoke thought through visual juxtaposition.
