The January 1995 issue of (U.S.) Vogue featured Helmut Newton photos of Auermann posed as a person with leg disabilities, such as being in a wheelchair, using crutches and wearing leg braces. In one photo, using visual effects, it looks like she has one leg, while her โ€œmissingโ€ leg is detached and posed upright next to her. In the documentary, Auermann (who is able-bodied in real life) remembers the public reaction being a โ€œshitstormโ€ because people thought that the photos were making a mockery of disabled people. #model #photographer #Auermann #Newton #Vogue #DoubleStandard #disability
