Guy Bourdin for Charles Jourdan is a collection of works by French photographer Guy Bourdin. Born in Paris in 1928, Bourdin is known for his unique worldview influenced by surrealism, which redefined the way fashion photography was done. While working in Vogue magazine and various advertisements, he was highly praised for his symbolic composition of subjects and his method of extracting the uneasiness hidden in everyday life. This book focuses on the advertising photos he took for the shoe brand "Charles Jourdan" from the late 1960s to the 1980s. The book contains over 150 innovative visuals that overturn the common sense of advertising photography at the time, such as framing that only cuts out the feet, strange and dramatic poses, and settings full of vivid colors and humor. This is a valuable collection of works that can be said to be a record of the era when Bourdin's aesthetics were most freely expressed.
