Another
living legend of photography is now publishing with MET ART. Jacques
Bourboulon. Anyone that knows photography is familiar with his work.
thirty years of pure passion, twenty photography books with over 400,000
copies sold. Even without knowing him, there's a very good chance that
you saw one of his photos. His work is second to none, simply superb and
timeless. Jacques Bourboulon is the French master of erotic photography.

are becoming increasingly hard to find. Bourboulon's books were
published mostly in Europe, never in the United States, and they are

BOURBOULON'S BIOGRAPHY
1967 in France, J.B. tries
fashion photography. His photos are rapidly to appear in Vogue, after
which he is to work for such renowned couturiers as Dior, Feraud and
Carven.
1974 As of this date J.B.
abandons fashion, and dedicates 80% of his time doing private research
and taking photos for his personal pleasure.
1975 Already a seasoned
traveller, J.B. decides to tour the world to present his images
elsewhere, and starts up a collaboration with over 200 international
magazines in Japan, Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark,
Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia
and New-Zealand. During all these years, his photographs are essentially
of women and young girls.
1976 Having always worked
with a Pentax, an encounter with the directors of Pentax in Tokyo is
inevitable.
1980 Publication of his
first book Des Corps Naturels. He has since published another 20 books
(6 in Japan) of which 400,000 copies have been sold worldwide. During
the past 17 years, he has also produced calendars, (Pentax 1987, BASF
1988, 1992, etc), postcards, posters, illustrations, photos for
publicity and over 160 exhibitions around the world.
1976 - 1988 Because of its
perfect light, J.B. takes most of his pictures during this period in
Ibiza (Spain). This island became his natural studio for the next 12
years.
1985 Having received
hundreds of letters from amateur photographers around the world familiar
with his work through his publications, exhibitions and books, J.B.
decides to dedicate part of his time to the public with a passion for
photography. For the big international photographic shows, he organises
conferences, workshops, diaporamas and exhibitions in Tokyo, Sydney,
Auckland, Cyprus, Cologne, Brussels, Stockholm, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona
etc. His public appeal draws crowds and the photographic magazines
regulary publish his work.
1989 J.B. changes
direction and decides to dedicate most of his time photographing the
countryside and taking portraits. Filled with a new energy, he travels
Europe and the world in quest of new faces and magic places. Even if he
has little time for his music, it is still very important for him, and
accompanies him on every photographic session.
