“We bang on about a lot of pretty picture books on the LOVE blog, but we’re sure you’ll forgive us for mentioning one more — especially when it’s as sexy as this one.

Helmut Newton. Polaroids is filled with the famed photographer’s test-polaroids from throughout his incredible career. Lucky for photo-fetishists everywhere, he kept almost every test shot, which probably meant a truckload of work for his widow June when Taschen asked her to go through his archives and pick out her favourite 300 shots.

Thanks June!”
