Guy Bourdin

Guy Bourdin was a French photographer, he was very well known for his provocative fashion images and set the stage for all the new fashion photographers out there. He found his inspiration
from another photographer called Man Ray, he went to meet him when he was only 22. Man Ray was very impressed with Bourdins work, that he agreed to write him an introduction to his exhibition.

Throughout his life he went up and up making the covers of Vogue, Harpars Bazaar and shooting campaign for Chanel, Gianni Versace and Bloomingdales. He had his first ever retrospective exhibition in the Victoria and Albert Museum and then he went and toured over in Australia and France.

These are some of his most iconic photographs.
