This week we take a peak into the wicked world of Guy Bourdin, one of my alltime favourite fashion photographers and a huge inspiration to both myself and many other camera monkeys out there.
Enjoy.
- H.

Guy Bourdin (1928 - 1991) was one of the best known photographers of fashion and advertising of the second half of the 20th century. He shared Helmut Newton’s taste for controversy and stylization, but Bourdin’s formal daring and the narrative power of his images exceeded the bounds of conventional advertising photography. Shattering expectations and questioning boundaries, he set the stage for a new kind of fashion photography.
Bourdin worked for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and shot ad campaigns for Chanel, Issey Miyake, Emanuel Ungaro, Gianni Versace, Loewe, Pentax and Bloomingdale’s.
