"Terry Richardson is an international celebrity as well as one of the most prolific and compelling photographers of his generation. Known for his uncanny ability to cut to the raw essence of whomever appears before his lens, Mr. Richardson's vision is at once humorous, tragic, often beautiful, and always provocative".
I stole the above introduction from Terry's very own website, simply because there was no better way to say it... the guy is a genius! And ofcourse, he's a New Yorker (all the good ones usually are) who has managed to capture some of the biggest labels out there; Gucci, Sisley, Miu Miu, Chloe, and his editorial work has appeared in magazines such as French Vogue, British Vogue, i-D, GQ, Harper's Bazaar and Purple.
I've selected some of my favourite snaps of his to share with you and the rest of the world. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
I always knew Batman and Robin had a thing going on.
My favourite celebrity photo from Terry's portfolio.
From the Jackass project. I fucking loved Steve-O back in the day.
Terry's mother, from his 'Mom' project... amazing.
YES OBAMA!!
Got milk?
Can I have it like that? You got it like that.
Aaah I never knew the picture of Josie Maran was taken by Terry Richardson, suppose it makes sense now. T'is one of my favourite pictures, had it on my wall back at uni and your blogpost has brought back many fond memories so thanks for that :)
