Polaroids, Guy Bourdin, Éditions Xavier Barral, Paris, 2005

About the Item

First Edition, published by Éditions Xavier Barral, Paris, 2005. An acknowledged master of fashion, photography and eroticism, Guy Bourdin was an expert at merging glamour with a feeling of snapshot spontaneity and the illicit. With an edge of discomfort in his surreal fashion compositions, this photobook selects 98 of Bourdin's Polaroids, most of which have never been published previously, to show his command of this medium, and the ominous yet playful influence he still extends over the worlds of both fashion and photography today.
