There, he met John Danicliffe, an Englishman who was an agent for top photographers such as David Hamilton and Helmut Newton, and was introduced to Helmut Newton . After that, while deepening his relationship with Helmut, he planned a portfolio collection of the best masterpieces from Helmut's work , " Private Property Collection", and received a request from Helmut for production use.
