Ah .. .thank you, modilust! I jdecide to add my own translation ... because of the message that you sent. Then, after I did that, I see that you were able to translate, also. ( I think that your translation is better than mine.)

Guy Bourdain is a pioneering genious! The amount of photographers that you see "a part of his work in" today are countless.

You're absolutely right.

I thought that was pretty blatant.

Guy Bourdin and Helmut Newton will have the photography industry on lock until the end of time!!!

Time is probably the best judge for Art, so far it is doing bloody well for Bourdin. I find his photography so “contemporary” and “not tired”. A great Photographer.

I love his work, its so strong and powerful.

Plus, I can see Mert and Marcus and Inez and Vinoodh have been very very inspired by Bourdin.

The garden shot by Bourdin, with the girl in the hedge, is exactly what the Valentino Spring 2008 campaign was like!

He's the most brilliant photographer!

Hi,

I'm desperately looking for photos of Eva Herzigova by Guy Bourdin. Anyone know something about it ?

In 2003, I read this interview of Eva in WestEast Mag :
WHO DO YOU LOOK UP TO IN THIS PROFESSION ?
"Guy Bourdin with whom I worked twice a few month before his death in some pretty wacky shoots."

Since then, I never found the result of those two collaborations. It must be in 1990 and Eva was 17 years old.

At http://www.guybourdin.org/ I recently saw this picture :

It does remind me a lot Eva Herzigova. But I'm not certain and there's nothing wacky about it !

Below I scanned a cover to show you how she was at 17 yo. I pray that you'll be able to give me an answer.
