As one of the most respected and influential photographers of all time Guy Bourdin<\/a> holds a special place in fashion history. His provocative and at times controversial work has stood the test of time, influencing everyone from designers and filmmakers to fellow photographers. Even though Bourdin is highly esteemed it is relatively rare to see his work exhibited, especially in as complete a manner as Somerset House’s current exhibition, Guy Bourdin, Image Maker<\/a><\/strong>. Featuring over a hundred of Bourdin’s best known works as well as paintings, polaroids and sketches from his archives the exhibition chronicles Bourdin’s career starting from his days as a protege of Man Ray and heading straight through 40 years of iconic imagery. With everything from Bourdin’s famous campaigns for Charles Jourdan, to his work from Vogue Paris and Bazaar. <\/p>\n This in-depth trip through Bourdin’s career offers guests a unique perspective on a photographic legend. We’ve all seen Bourdin’s best known work, but getting a chance to view his contact sheets and polaroids up close provides a treat. Moments that seemed off the cuff or spontaneous in the final shots were the result of careful planning and storyboarding. Seeing the multi-faceted nature of Bourdin’s talents also provides another layer; the overlap between the themes of his photography and his other artistic endeavors – especially his paintings and films – provides an appealing glimpse into the mind of a master. <\/p>\n View a preview of some of the iconic works on display below and visit Guy Bourdin, Image Maker at Somerset House from now until March 15th 2015<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Charles Jourdan Fall 1977 \u00a9 Guy Bourdin Estate \/ Courtesy A + C <\/p>\n Vogue Paris May 1970 \u00a9 Guy Bourdin Estate \/ Courtesy A + C <\/p>\n Charles Jourdan Autumn 1979 \u00a9 Guy Bourdin Estate \/ Courtesy A + C <\/p>\n Charles Jourdan Spring 1979 \u00a9 Guy Bourdin Estate \/ Courtesy A + C <\/p>\n Charles Jourdan Autumn 1979 \u00a9 Guy Bourdin Estate \/ Courtesy A + C <\/p>\n Pentax Calendar 1980 \u00a9 Guy Bourdin Estate \/ Courtesy A + C <\/p>\n Charles Jourdan, January 1980 \u00a9 Guy Bourdin Estate \/ Courtesy A + C <\/p>\n Charles Jourdan, Autumn 1970 \u00a9 Guy Bourdin Estate \/ Courtesy A + C <\/p>\n Charles Jourdan, Autumn 1979 \u00a9 Guy Bourdin Estate \/ Courtesy A + C <\/p>\n <\/small> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Somerset House’s expansive Guy Bourdin exhibition provides a window into the mind of a master <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":71069,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,7],"tags":[1420],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70953"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/176"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70953"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71086,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70953\/revisions\/71086"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/71069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"2.-Charles-Jourdan,-Fall-1977-_-Guy-Bourdin\"](\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2014\/12\/2.-Charles-Jourdan-Fall-1977-_-Guy-Bourdin.jpg\")
