Lot Essay

Newton would regularly spend the winter months in Los Angeles, always staying at the Chateau Marmont. The hotel became a work-place for him as he always liked to make pictures in genuine rather than constructed environments. He used the character and mood of familiar places as the sites in which to pose his subjects.
