Surrealism in Fashion Photography

Ok, this topic is something that is driving me nuts. 

I spent thousand of hours trying to figure out how big ones like Dali took their pictures...

There are more photographers that have an amazing portfolio...

Like Guy Bourdin.

What do you think of his work?

I think that's exactly what makes it so appealing! These sort of images are so hard to wrap your head around that it's meant to perplex. Best not try to figure out... let your imagination run wild instead

I was actually able to find a video that explains the story behind this image! As you might expect, it's a really fun story. fstoppers.com/film/story-behind-1948-pho...dali-atomicus-143353

Dali's photography is a lot of fun - definitely worth checking out if you're not already familiar with it.

I think that the image itself is appealing. You're left wondering how it was made and what it could mean. The fact that Dali is involved obviously adds something to it, but I think that this image would be equally fascinating without his presence.
