We have never denied to be fashion-photo-junkies. In fact, tell us where there's a used bookstore or flea market and we are there rummaging and searching for old photography books and fashion mags. Today we're remembering Guy Bourdin whom we absolutely love. Guy was the first photographer of the 70s and 80s to create a complex narrative, then capture a moment — sensual, provocative, shocking, exotic, surrealistic, sometimes sinister — and simply associate it with a fashion item. The narratives were strange and mysterious, sometimes full of violence, sexuality, and surrealism. Even though he was much less well known to the public than his colleague Helmut Newton, Bourdin possibly has been more influential on the younger generations of fashion photographers. Just take a look at these amazing pics! xoxo
