Terry Richardson

Terry Richardson is impossible to write about without acknowledging the shadow over his name. For a stretch he was one of the most in-demand fashion photographers alive, shooting campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, and Yves Saint Laurent and covers for Vogue and Rolling Stone, with a stripped-down, snapshot style that defined an era of 2000s imagery. But since 2001 he has faced repeated accusations of sexual misconduct from multiple models, and the industry that once celebrated him largely dropped him. To me his story is a cautionary one about how an aesthetic can dazzle while the conduct behind the camera goes unexamined for far too long.
