Jacques Bourboulon
Jacques Bourboulon (born December 8, 1946 in France) is a French fashion and nude photographer .
Jacques Bourboulon began his career in 1967. After his fashion photos were printed in Vogue , he worked for Dior , Féraud and Carven, among others . In 1974 he retired from the fashion industry and devoted the majority of his time to his hobby, traveling and photographing naked young women and girls. In 1980 he published his first photo book Des Corps Naturels , which was followed by 20 more with a total circulation of more than 400,000 copies. While Bourboulon was still widely accepted in the 1970s and 1980s, he shifted his interest to landscape photography from 1989 onwards. Bourboulon's photo books and magazines, in which some of his photos were published, achieve a much higher collector's value than works by the related David Hamilton . In contrast to Hamilton's dreamy image composition using soft focus and special filters, Bourboulon's photographs are characterized by strong contrasts in sunlight. The photographer worked consistently with a Pentax photo camera.
From 1976 to 1988 Bourboulon worked on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza , where the recordings for his rarest band "Melodies" were made.
At the time of his book publications, he presented his works in Tokyo, Sydney, Cologne, Brussels, Paris, Stockholm, Madrid, Milan and Barcelona and offered conferences and workshops for amateur photographers. Today Jacques Bourboulon lives a rather secluded life in the south of France.
