Terry Richardson is 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, his vision is at once humorous, tragic, often beautiful, and always provocative. Born in New York City and raised in Hollywood, Richardson began photographing his environment while attending Hollywood High School and playing in a punk rock band, and he hasn’t stopped shooting since. Whatever the medium, Terry Richardson continues to prove that he is a true American Original.

he's super gross, but i absolutely love his work.
You know... I think he's actually catching the way society is today... At least main-stream society. It's all about sex appeal and sex and the crudity of it all together. I get it... and I like it. lol It's definitely something that people interpret in their own ways, but I can definitely see the art behind it all. Great great pick!
Much Love,

He bores me. Porny. Got it. Next point of view please?
Ho.
Love it.
Wow! People either love him or hate him. So interesting!
God, he's so polarizing. I think he's a total sleaze but I don't think anyone was pointing a gun to the women's heads when he was a harassing piece of crap. You can't put up with it for your career then complain about it later. You kick him in the nuts immediately and call the police. Okay. Rant over.
I totally agree with Aline here - ehh as a person and wow as a photographer!

Love all the images!
I think he's awesome, love how basic and to the point his photos are. no over the top styling, just simple.
...wow, thanks for printing what must be the first unbiased review of Terry Richardson's work I think I've ever read...! And some dam good photos in a non-immediate-sexual context...
yeah i agree with the sleaze bucket comment. i don't get him.
but yeah, these shots are cool. i will admit.
he gives me the creeps but his photos are so "terry", i can totally see how he became so prolific, they are very sleazy-cool
