Attitudes

French text.
An iconic colour-saturated collection of Bourboulon's photographs capturing the beauty of his young amateur models in nature. Photographed on Bourboulon's island home of Ibiza in the 1970s-80s, a refuge for hippies, artists and other free spirits from all over the world, his photographs are a testament to the freedom and experimentation of this time, and to the beauty, and natural simplicity of the island environment itself. Jacques Bourboulon (born 8 December 1946) is a French photographer, specializing in nude photography. In 1967 he started as a fashion photographer, publishing in Vogue and working for the fashion designers Dior, Féraud, and Carven. In the mid-1970s he sought the freedom and innocence of a natural landscape and switched to nude photography, never again to work with professional models or studios. His most famed pictures portray girls and women on the Spanish island of Ibiza, where he lived from 1976-1986, playing on the juxtaposition of blue sky, white walls, and sun-tanned skin. Bourboulon's pictures were shot with a Pentax camera and focus on bright light and sharp contrasts. His images become iconic through the pages of PHOTO magazine, Club, High Society, and calendars for Pentax and BASF.
