Guy Bourdin‎

Guy Bourdin revolutionized fashion photography. With his surreal images, he went from being an enfant terrible in the mid-1950s to one of the most important photographers for French Vogue. In Bourdin's work, models posed in front of animal carcasses, swung in brightly colored dresses in the middle of a huge birdcage, and rode on the back of an orca. Whether doll-like women or femmes fatales, the image of women conveyed in his representations is the subject of heated debate.
