TERENCE SCHELL started at the early age of nineteen years to study classic Photography in America and took apprenticeship with various photographers in fashion and still live photography. Inspired at the age of eleven he was taken by his father to a photo exhibition called "The big Nudes" by HELMUT NEWTON. The life size black and white photographs left an everlasting imprint on his memory and encouraged him to move to the fashion capitals. There he was fortunate to assist HELMUT NEWTON for the US VOGUE Magazine. One shooting was on a MIAMI rooftop and the nude version was published in a later book. After the fashion editorial work was done he was invited by HELMUT and his wife JUNE NEWTON to spend another nine extra days as a companion for the couple and VOGUE Magazine had furnished them to spend days in Coconut Groove and other Miami location. Finally when the memorable days were over and after spending some evenings in the Hotel´s Bar he was given a personal gift, NEWTON´s book singed and made out with the dedicational words
"keep on clicking und "Gut Licht"" Miami Airport 1992, signed - Helmut Newton -.
Later on he had worked with other well known fashion photographers like LES GOLDBERG, TORKIL GUDNASSON and NEIL KIRK.
