terry richardson

I just about to post about Terry Richardson, a famous editorial photographer who is known for his snapshot aesthetic and often sexually graphic photos, when I came across this article on Jezebel: Meet Terry Richardson, The World’s Most F—ked Up Fashion Photographer.

So needless to say, I was a little conflicted. I won’t repost the content, but if you read through the model’s accounts of working with Richardson, it definitely seems like something a tad unprofessional and a little creepy is going on. And apparently this isn’t the first time he’s been accused of inappropriate behaviour.

Instead of posting the more graphic photos in question, I’ve stuck to the celebrity portraits which are pretty tame. But check out his work and let me know what you think. It definitely wouldn’t be the first time that a photographer exploited young female models, but Terry claimed back in 2004, “I don’t like to exploit anybody. Everyone has fun on my shoots.” I’m interested to see if and how he will respond to these latest accusations.
