Of course, there will always be those who look

only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a

more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I

have always preferred inspiration to information.

Guy Bourdin, Polaroid

year unknown

Guy Louis Bourdin (December 2, 1928 Paris/March

29, 1991 Paris), born Guy Louis Banars, was a

French fashion photographer.

Guy Louis Banars was born December 2, 1928, at

7 Rue Popincourt, Paris. He was abandoned by his

mother the following year, and was adopted by

Maurice Dsir Bourdin, who brought him up withthe help of his mother Marguerite Legay.

During his military service in Dakar (1948/1949),

he received his first photography training as a

cadet in the French Air Force.

In 1950 he returned to Paris, where he met Man

Ray, and became his protg. Bourdin made his

first exhibition of drawings and paintings at

Galerie, Rue de la Bourgogne, Paris. His first

photographic exhibition was in 1952. Bourdin

exhibited under the pseudonym Edwin Hallan in his

early career.

His first fashion shots were published in the

February issue of Vogue Paris in 1955. He

continued to work for the magazine until 1987.

An editor of Vogue magazine introduced Bourdin to

shoe designer Charles Jourdan, who became his

patron, and Bourdin shot Jourdan's ad campaignsbetween 1967 and 1981. His quirky

anthropomorphic compositions, intricate mise en

scene ads were greatly recognized and always

greatly anticipated by the media.

Bourdin was one of the best known photographers

of fashion and advertising of the second half of the

20th century. 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. Bourdin worked for

Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, and shot ad campaigns

for Chanel, Issey Miyake, Emanuel Ungaro, Gianni

Versace, Loewe, Pentax and Bloomingdale's.

Bourdin was the first photographer to create

a complex narrative, then snatch 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.

Bourdin was influenced by his mentor Man Ray,

photographer Edward Weston, the surrealist

painters Magritte and Balthus, and film maker Luis

Buuel. Even though much less well known to the

public than his colleague Helmut Newton (also

working for Vogue), Bourdin possibly has been

more influential on the younger generations of

fashion photographers.

Guy Bourdin was a short man with a whiny voice,

and had a reputation of being incredibly

demanding. Dark rumours surrounded him: his

mother abandoning him as an infant, the suicidesof his wife and two of his girlfriends, and the

cruelty in which he treated his models.
