Guy Bourdin: Extreme Fashion Photography

The work of one of fashion’s most notorious, controversial photographers – Guy Bourdin – is exhibited in a one-off collection of over 40 works at London’s Bloomsbury Square until November 24 2007. Having shot campaigns for Chanel, Ungaro, Loewe and Charles Jourdan, Bourdin made a name for himself with the erotic, sometimes morbid images he projected onto the pages of British and French Vogue. Watch as Bourdin expert Charlie Scheips guides us around the photographer’s most iconic images and hear Bourdin’s son, Samuel, talk about his all-time favourite photo in a rare interview.
