Terry Richardson



Terry Richardson is an American photographer. His pictures usually feature women and a good portion are of a sexual nature. With his commercial work he has worked with brands such as Gucci, Nike, Levi's and Mercedes to name a few.

He often shoots and publishes a lot of personal works which I find are just as good on his websites and blogs. These are usually more casual behind the scenes type of photos with his friends and celebs. Here he often uses a plain simple white background with a very strong flash. Literally hundred of these as well as ones taken at public events end up on his personal

His rise to fame with the younger generation was helped by the likes of American Apparel and Vice magazine as his style fits hand in hands with theirs. He has produced over 10 photo books so far and worked with a wide range of famous models and celebrities from rappers to President Obama.

He inspires my work as he shows how it is possible to bridge the gap between commercial photography and edgy fashion and everyday photography.
