3. Method's & Techniques His Method,
One could continue and call his work amateur because of his behavior. He does not take a lot of precaution for his photo sessions. In effect, he rarely plans his sessions. He normally comes in to set with no concept and he makes it up as he goes to be able to get the desired shoot. He said that he feeds off of his models energy and what they are willing to do, which is the only thing he bases himself on to create a session and get the desired pictures. As for the more technical aspect, of his picture, he does not use a lot of professional material and techniques as said above, but this also relates to the lighting and the creative aspect he brings to his photo sessions. Richardson mostly uses a strait flash on his subjects. And for fun most models wear his glasses.

4. Favorite subject Matter
Terry likes to take a lot of portraits of famous people. He lets them be themselves during the photo shoot, While letting them use any kind of props they desire, and he lets them even use his glasses. Terry is also not afraid to jump into the photo with them and have fun, while also coming out with a great (fun) photo.

5. The Route It took
When it all started, he used the camera to document his life and the punk rock scene in Ojai. In 1992, Richardson quit music and moved to the East Village neighborhood of New York City, where he began shooting scenes of young people partying and New York City's nightlife. It was in New York City that Richardson had his first "big break." His first published fashion photos appeared in vibe in His Vibe spread was shown at Paris's International Festival de la Mode later that year. Following the showing, Richardson shot an advertising campaign for fashion designer Kathrine Hemnetts spring 1995 collection. Richardson has produced several campaigns for Diesel, including the 'Global Warming Ready' which won a Silver Lion for Print at Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival in Throughout the years he has also produced several private portraits for the company's founder, Renzo Rosso. In September 2011, they hosted a mutual book launch together with fashion editor Carine roitfeld, at Colette in Paris. In 2012 Richardson embarked on his first solo exhibition at Los Angeles's OHWOW Gallery. The exhibition was titled "TERRYWOOD" and ran from February 24 to March 31, In May 2012, a video of model Kate Upton performing the Cat Daddy dance for Richardson in his studio went viral. In December 2012, Lady GaGa announced that Richardson was filming a documentary about her life. Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes defended Richardson in 2004, saying his work was criticized by "first-year feminist types."

7. The Impact
I think the impact Terry has is that his photo’s show that you can have fun with your photo’s no matter your age, size, or race. I believe they also show individuality because not every photo is the same as someone else’s, that you should express yourself with your photo’s by using props and/or other people to try and come up with something great. What's also great is that he shows you don’t need to have high tech cameras or a great set up to take an amazing photo. He gives off good vibes by showing us its better to be yourself in your photos then someone your not. His photo’s are simple but fun, and I think that’s what we need to learn. That photography should be fun and we shouldn’t stress with our photos and just let everything flow naturally and have fun with it.

13. My Reflection
For this photographer, I absolutely love his work. Simply because his work show’s that you don’t need to be really skinny or even that pretty to take an amazing photo. That all you need to do is have fun and let your body and mind run free, His photos show that its okay to be weird and step out of your comfort zone while also being able to take a great photo. I also love that some of his pictures are able to tell a type of story, whether its with the persons eye’s, there prop’s, or just an amazing background. Even though most of his backgrounds are white, I think it makes the photo better because your more focused on the prop and/or person in the photo instead of having to much go on that could possibly crowd the photo. Terry’s photos are normal, creepy, strange, and I love it, his stands out because they are so simple but yet so much creativity went into them to make them great. People like him are inspirational in way because you can have nothing and still come up on top and do something great that will make your name remunerable.
