berlin polaroid guy bourdin photography

Guy Bourdin, Charles Jourdan, 1978

There’s no denying the joy of the Polaroid photograph—a simple and now decidedly old school way to test composition and to take off-the-cuff photos. The Polaroid Project, a newly opened show at C/O Berlin, celebrates the charm of the instant photograph, with candid images by Andy Warhol (of course), Dennis Hooper and Richard Hamilton. The above image by Guy Bourdin is playfully meta—showing a model’s legs peeking out from under a Polaroid photo.
