Terry Richardson staat bekend om zijn provocerende fotografische aanpak, waarbij hij vaak thema's van seksualiteit verkent met expliciete weergaven van naaktheid en seksuele handelingen. Zijn stijl wordt gekenmerkt door het vastleggen van beroemdheden in alledaagse situaties, vaak met instantcamera's, wat contrasteert met traditionele fotografische methoden. Richardson verschijnt vaak in zijn eigen opnamen, waarbij hij zijn kenmerkende bril ruilt met de modellen, wat de grenzen tussen fotograaf en gefotografeerde vervaagt. Zijn werk, dat evolueerde van witte achtergronden naar meer gevarieerde omgevingen, heeft aandacht getrokken vanwege zijn onconventionele en directe esthetiek.

A year-long global odyssey- -all access, nothing off limits--this is the book Lady Gaga fans have been waiting for.
Terry Richardson (*1965 in NY) kam über die Arbeiten von Nan Golding und Larry Clark zur Fotografie. Inzwischen ist Terry Richardson gefeiertes „enfant terrible“ der Modeszene, der mit zwei billigen Plastikkameras bewaffnet, simultan, spontan und schnell auslösend die Underground-Szene Amerikas durchstreift. Er bedient sich der Porno-Ästhetik der 70er Jahre, um neueste Modetrends zu präsentieren – und alle, von der ID, Vogue, Harper´s Bazaar bis zu Gucci, Armani oder Sisley, wollen seine Bilder haben. Seine Fotos sind „Hingucker“, faszinierend, überraschend, schockierend, obszön. Helmut Newton, der seine Motive eher in der „Upperclass“-Umgebung fand, sah in Terry Richardson einen der interessantesten Fotografen der Jetztzeit: Absolut korrekt!
American photographer Terry Richardson has been called the "magazine world's Marquis de Sade." His photographs of friends and models in raucous abandon manage to achieve a delicate balance between the raw, spontaneous, and fun loving, and the poignant and very personal. Richardson began his career in 1990 with a series documenting New York's East Village undergound scene and, since the mid 1990's, has been working predominantly as a fashion photographer. His sizzling images have appeared in the pages of I-D, French Vogue and Harper's Bazaar as well as in campaigns for Gucci, Sisley and Armani Exchange. Books of Richardson's photographs include Too Much (2002), Feared by Men, Desired by Women (2001), Son of Bob (1999) and Hysteric Glamour (1996).
Over 350 colour and black & white photographs taken during the 10 month period in which Richardson followed Lady Gaga and had complete access to her everyday life, with nothing being off limits.
Fashion photographer Bob Richardson (1928-2005) first began to publish his powerful, transgressive and emotionally charged black-and-white images in the high-fashion press of the 1960s, highlighting the new freedoms and attendant disillusions of the era in a distinctive, maverick style that matched his own edgy way of life. According to Cathy Horyn of The New York Times , ""Mr. Richardson's pictures were radical because, more than showing youthful fashion in a liberated way, they sought to expose the life dramas that were then consuming young people."" They were dark and conflicted, abject and suggestive, fleeting, broken, knowing and yearning. Always a cult photographer (and widely credited with influencing such peers as Peter Lindbergh, Steven Meisel and Bruce Weber), Richardson was also plagued by schizophrenia, and he lived hard-experimenting freely with sex and drugs throughout a life of extreme highs and lows. For example, he is perhaps most famous for the profoundly compelling portraits he made of his then-partner and muse Angelica Houston in the 1970s, while the 1980s found him homeless and living on the streets of Los Angeles. This highly-anticipated, beautifully-produced volume is the first ever dedicated to Richardson's oeuvre. Put together by his son, the equally renowned photographer Terry Richardson, it collects what remains of the original work, much of which was destroyed over the course of Richardson's unpredictable career.
