Helmut Newton - Shoe & Cigar


The high-heeled shoe is a standard fetish, and the fetish is womans missing penis, as Freud tells us. When Helmut Newton shows a woman smoking a rather thick cigar, as he does in several 1997 photographs, he also gives her a penis. (Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, as Freud says, but it is not when a woman smokes it.)
