Terry Richardson with Barack Obama.
Terry Richardson is one of my personal favourite photographers. Anyone who is anyone has been photographed with or by Terry.
He has photographed for;
- Marc Jacobs
- Yves Saint Laurent
- Supreme
- Diesel
And has his work on these magazines;
- GQ
- Rolling Stone
- Vogue
- Vanity Fair
With all these contacts and work under his belt it is no wonder he is the highest paid photographer of 2013 earning an estimated $58 million.
Terry started his photography in high school and has been working his way up ever since. His pictures have been classed as controversial to a lot of people because of the graphic sexual nature of his work. Aged 48 he has pictured all of the major celebrities and models of the time. Most recently being Miley Cyrus which caused a lot of controversy because of the sexual nature of her images.
Miley Cyrus' controversial photos by Terry Richardson.
As part of his tradition of photographing celebrities he swaps his signature glasses or his shirt and the celebrity pretends to be him and vice versa.
Tyler the Creator being Terry RIchardson and vice versa.
As well as being a photographer, he is also filming a documentary on Lady Gaga, and has appeared in the Hurricane music video by Thirty Seconds to Mars. The list of celebrities and models he has photographed goes on forever. here are a few;
- Barack Obama

His signature style and minimalist simplicity of his shots make me love his work. The way he captures his model and shows them in a real form makes, for me, an amazing piece of art.
