I have to admit that at first I was a little taken back by Guy Bourdin’s photography. While I did not want to be because I know that it is all fashion photography, I could not help but really be taken back by it, but after exploring a little bit more, I realized that he is a shocker photographer. He is in it for the shock and some of his ads honestly come out incredible!
While in almost every single one of his pictures, a woman is naked, they are usually doing something different and unique. For example, he has a picture that has a woman face down, naked with a stream of blood coming out of her mouth. While that might be a little morbid, it is also extremely beautiful.
So if you want shocking and art, you should definitely take a look at Guy Bourdin, he’s totally fashion and totally art – incredible all over the place!
