Celebrated fashion photographer, Guy Bourdain, worked with French Vogue for over thirty years. This image resulted from a summer shoot, in which he was supposed to feature swim ware, but bored with the proposal, he offered up this povocative composition as an alternative.  It was exactly this sort of vivid, narrative-infused work that placed Bourdain at the vanguard of fashion photography for a career that spanned four decades.
