Terry Richardson By Anastassia Whitty

Introduction There are many well known photographers out right now that have been very influential in the entertainment and fashion industry. Personally, I feel my top favorite photographer right now is Terry Richardson. He has been around for decades now and has worked with people in so many parts of the industry. I look up to this photographer for his style in photography and his set up. You don't necessarily need an extensive light set up to make a picture look beautiful. His easy technique brings life out of his subjects with just one light. I would love to know more on how to shoot some of my work similar to his style.

Who Is Terry Richardson? Terry Richardson, a New york city Native is a professional campaign and fashion photographer born on august 1965. Originally a band musician,in 1992 he decided to quit and gained interest shooting club life scenes around New york City. Later on he would move up and get his big break working for his first published magazine called Vibe.There he worked in the fashion department and throughout the rest his career shoot campaigns for places like GQ, Vouge and plenty others.

From galleries, to fashion magazines, and music videos, Terry Richardson has done it all. I was surprised to hear that Terry directed Beyonce's "XO" video in Coney Island, as well as some of Lady Gaga's videos. Everyone from Miley Cyrus, to Barack Obama, and Big Sean have worked with him. He is known for his Single Light source (like a reflector dish) and white wall background technique, which is never short of amazing .
