7 d. ago ‘It’s all about love’: how a Swiss photographer’s intimate honeymoon pictures caused a scandal

René Groebli took portraits of Charlie Chaplin and Walt Disney and pioneered new modes of photography. But it was his tender, erotic pictures taken in a Paris hotel room in the 50s that really caused a stirIn 1952, two young honeymooners checked into a small hotel in Montparnasse.

He studied sports science at St Mary’s University and started posting recipes and workouts on social media in 2014, while working as a personal trainer.

His 13th book, Protein In 15, is out now.I was always covered in food as a kid – a real messy eater. This was probably readymade spaghetti from a tin.
