Product Description

The classic Photofile series brings together the best work of the world's greatest photographers in an attractive format and at a reasonable price. Handsome and collectible, the books each contain some sixty reproductions, plus a critical introduction and a bibliography.

Guy Bourdin (1928-1991) was a fashion photographer whose talent and strength of vision were apparent even in his earliest works. He shared Helmut Newton's taste for controversy and stylization, but Bourdin's formal daring and the narrative power of his images exceeded the bounds of conventional advertising photography. Shattering expectations and questioning boundaries, he set the stage for a new kind of fashion photography. 65 illustrations in color and duotone.

Customer Reviews

NICE Compillation
Having known Guy for many years, I find this thoughtful little volume to include a wide, rarely seen selection of his work. The editing is succinct, and It is nicely printed. The richness and depth of his photography is evident. It is a refreshing sample of Guy's perfected technic, his incredible humor, and his fantastic fantasy life.

A shame
This is a real shame for those who admire Bourdins work. There are images in this book which are new to me and I'm sure many fans but they have run them across the folds so that its impossible to really view them. The essay is thoughtful and well done but what a pity the photographs were not respected by the designers of this small volume.
