Guy Bourdin (2 December 1928, Paris – 29 March 1991, Paris), was a French fashion photographer known for his provocative fashion images. Bourdin worked for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. He is since considered as one of the best known photographers of fashion and advertising of the second half of the 20th century. He set the stage for a new kind of fashion photography.
Bourdin was widely known for his use of complimentary and contrasting colours in fashion photography. In the first photo we can see complimentary colours; violet and yellow, and like in the last photo we can see contrasting colours; red and yellow. Complimentary colours are directly opposite each other in the colour wheel and contrasting colours are almost next to each other.
