About the Book

Guy Bourdin (1928 1991) created some of the most challenging and seductive fashion photography of the last century. He worked for French Vogue for over 30 years, from 1955 1987, and his images filled the pages of international fashion magazines during the 1970s and 1980s in groundbreaking campaigns for Charles Jourdan, Bloomingdales and Dior. His high-glamour, yet often surreal work revolutionized the genre of fashion photography, presenting fashion as the luxurious embellishment rather than the subject of his photographs, which foreground dark fantasies of lust, consumption and desire. Bourdin's legacy can still be seen in the work of photographers such as Stephen Meisel and Helmut Newton. This accessible monograph is the perfect introduction to his work.

Table of Contents:
Portrait of the photographer * 4,000-word essay by subject expert * 55 photographs presented chronologically over 110 pages (1 photograph per spread, with title) * Brief chronology of the photographer's life

Review :
'a damn good storyteller who condensed carefully orchestrated narratives into a single photograph that both shocked and fascinated his audience. ... Capturing every possible sexual taboo, his images consequently changed the face of '70s and '80s fashion photography' i-D, June 2006 'Fashion photography wouldn't be what it is today without Guy Bourdin. - Alison M Gingeras provides a thorough insightful overview of his career. - it's [Bourdin's] mysterious, sexually charged imagery that questions what drives the consumer desire we so frequently wrestle with today.' The Guardian, 14 October 2006 GUY BOURDIN 2011 quotes 'fascinating ... inspiring. ... a great way to view and learn about the works of one of the great photographers of the 20th Century. ...compact in size [...] but it's difficult not to feel greatly inspired by it. ... will suit any photographer looking for some inspiration.' Digital Photographer, October 2011
