Guy Bourdin Books

Guy Bourdin (2 December 1928 – 29 March 1991), was a French artist and fashion photographer known for his provocative images. From 1955, Bourdin worked mostly with Vogue as well as other publications including Harper’s Bazaar. He shot ad campaigns for Chanel, Charles Jourdan, Pentax and Bloomingdale’s.

Bourdin was the man behind the most challenging and seductive fashion photography of the last century. He refused all offers to publish or exhibit during his lifetime and this book, with its compelling sequence of images, is the first thorough investigation of his work.
