Terry Richardson on Communicating with People

[noelmsp007]

I love this motherfucker. (Yes, it had to be said again.)

[SnapsOnThaPetro]

is there a LOVE button?

[SovereignBeing]

this guy is a Monarch handler.. dangerous in other words.. they think they are going for a simple shoot, but get far more than that.

[lyamwins]

just looked at his diary and i'm not at all impressed.

[googo151]

Meisel, Klein, Ellen, Sante, Chin, Demarchelier, Tiziano, Compte, Penn, Watson, Avedon, these are the real genius' of fashion this guy, just got lucky.

[Ivan7167]

In China, that bastard would be executed))

Perhaps when he was a teenager, he is not particularly enjoyed success with the girls.

So he became such a bastard pedophile!

[imatux]

This guy is a sicko... Oh and his photos suck.

[liquidsnake1979]

Richardson is a straight up larry clark ripoff.

[countchunkula]

@liquidsnake1979 How? He doesn't make coming of age films about kids having sex, so how else is he like clark? lol

[jacobomg]

@countchunkula It's the idea of photography for shock value. I'm not talking about his fashion work, I am talking about his diary photo books. Just pictures of tits and his semen.

[chewbaccapoopy]

pretentious art fag hipster. it's been said, but i'll say it again, OVERRATED.

[ejmoye]

In pictures he's so attractive. On video not so much.

[jixxxxer17]

why are People always soooo angry when someone is successful ?

[AquariusRevolution]

@jixxxxer17 we are jealous that someone like Richardson makes money by pretty much taking pictures of naked people for shock value. I certainly am not angry when someone's success is deserved, but this world is backwards, mediocrity thrives and actual genius is only realized when it's too late.

[AquariusRevolution]

why do i feel like he has fucked everyone he has photographed. He probably has hasn't he? or does he just jizz all over them, he is a genius because he has made a career out of making people hold his dick and photographing them. I can't applaud you on integrity though, fucking creep.

[Miguelylyah]

lovely terry <3

[harlotstarlet]

his photography is so fucking overrated. ugh.

[sjmoy1]

what a fuckin creep, do you know what he does to young, underaged models? he should be fuckin castrated. what's even more sick is the mother fuckers who actually think he is one of the most genius photogs of our generation. yeah, how about you just hand a horny ass 14 yr old a camera and throw some naked girls in front of it and call those snapshots fuckin picasso! i'll take andy warhol anyday over this sociopathic rapist anyday.

[malodorustheodorus]

@sjmoy1 Andy Warhol is fucking terrible

[MadgeLover1]

Genius

[SovereignBeing]

uurghh feeding off others energy,, i bet... creep!

[fuckwad118]

He is so fucking HOT!!!

God I would bang his brains out if i could!!!

[pysauno]

That is def earsnot haha fucking epic

[jstephensen]

Is that Earsnot @ 1:26?

[tfarads1]

@jstephensen yes. 

[papadesi1]

Whats good about him . he abused the models he worked with !!

[timthemanager]

does anyone know what the vincent gallo, olivier zahm etc. footage was from?

[whistleblabber]

This is just another sociopath with sexual, sado mas tendencies (particularly against young females...even kids..if you looked at his book, Terry World...very disturbing) who is CELEBRATED IN THE STATES AND IN EUROPE as some kind of talent. You know, like MJ was. This goes to who how corrupt people are IN VERY FUCKING LARGE NUMBERS...as well as pretty dumb. Pretty pathetic, America, pretty pathetic.

[0dour]

This man forces himself on 13 year old girls

[silvana6427]

He has Raped a Girl

[SpringtimeRosePetals]

what i love about terry's photographs is exactly what he was talking about at like 1:30 ish. I love how his photos are so raw and free and intriguing... they really capture personality, sexuality, style, etc. He may be a creepy guy, but I really like his work.

[VINTONGFX]

what kind of bracket is he using?

[efrrren]

i found him extremely attractive, there's something about him that makes me tickle hahahaha

[wonderingheights]

"working, it's about...communicating my wank in your hand....blah blah blah"

[wonderingheights]

PEDOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppper

[originallimu]

uncle terry's toolkit: white wall. check. harsh lighting check. beautiful subjects. check. allusions to cum. check. rag for cum. check. It's a winning formula.

[cammo6901]

overrated as fuck

[Y0ssariantheAssyrian]

I love his blog, he reminds me of Harvey Milk

[notoriousmisfit]

Sorry but it's just plain American Apparel style every fucking time. Modern photography? He's just a copy of a copy of a copy. No originality. Sex sells that's why he is famous (and also because of his father). Why can't we go further than sex itself? Is it so complicated to find what is not there yet?

[igualnimp]

@notoriousmisfit hm. How can you speak about modern photography and criticize him to be a copy of a copy of a copy??? Every art today is a copy of a copy of a copy. At least some people say so. It think they are right. Where is the real NEW and ORIGINAL in modern art or photography? And speaking about fashion photography like i believe Richardson does, it doesnt even matter as long as it is "sexy" (in a marketing meaning)

[notoriousmisfit]

@igualnimp Are you kidding me? Fashion does not always have to be sexy or sexual. Fashion is also art. What he does is just point and shoot almost all the time on a white wall. Maybe he should explore more than the plain content he's proposing. What about finding something that could sell more than sex? It's all about exploring new things and what he is doing is cheap.

[igualnimp]

@notoriousmisfit you must be a fashion photographer. Are you? sorry

I just want to say, NO, fashion is fashion, and art is art. Fashion is basically meant to "sell clothes" = construct dreaming and moods and stars and fire and smoothie cooly sexy blig bling around a brand so to make it shine, more rich, not cheap, more this and that and in the end, sell more of it or keep the highness of a brand. Or its youngness

BUT youre right he could try something else. ...if what he does stops to work :P

[kiribula]

@igualnimp Fashion is many things, it can be total consumerism and it can be almost total art. You have a very limited, mediafed view on it but that perhaps has to do with that side being shown the most. But no, you are wrong.

[kiribula]

@notoriousmisfit With you on that.

[kiribula]

@igualnimp Just looked at your page. You have no feeling for style (in a aesthical fashion sense), so why are you bleeping on about it ?

[kvaughn31]

I enjoy a good deal of his photography... but he is a disgusting, pathetic scumbag that SHOULD be thrown in prison.

[etiamvitavideo]

You either Love Him or Hate Him...in my opinion, I enjoy his work.

[glacialee]

want to have sex with him

[uploadexplode]

just my opinion, but this type of photography will not stand the test of time. I enjoy looking at it for a moment, but my attention fades quickly. check out Edward Burtynsky or Nadav Kander. Style meets content.

[manjarisputnik]

what a douchebag,he should be in prison,not preaching to massmedia

[igualnimp]

@manjarisputnik why

[manjarisputnik]

@igualnimp he is a rapist and predator,everyone knows it but doing nothing.they do like to keep it hush hush in fashion business.

[igualnimp]

@manjarisputnik i doubt he is a rapist. if everyone knows i dont. Who says so?

[mashedmeez]

look through Terryworld and you might change your mind. he's amazing.

[kiribula]

@mashedmeez It's all so Vice-y, American Apparal...

[gabbysuperstar]

i love this motherfucker.

[bmesesan]

so do I - one of the best modern photographers

[artysmokes]

We need more photographers like Terry, keeping it real.

[kipthebooty]

okay....I can't lie...he is not attractive.

But...I am so turned on by him...he is so sexual...yeah I may be crazy...But he is SEXUAL!

[lilacism]

I sooooooo know what you mean!! When I first saw him interviewed, I was like why am I getting turned on?!! He is fabulous though- very talented!

[felixStuff]

@kipthebooty yeah yeah, you just want his cash b***

[transfoby]

@kipthebooty he is SICK, SICK, SICK ugly man

[TheEgyptianOne]

@kipthebooty im a guy and i think that the guy is charming so i know what u mean

[budfox199]

this pseudo photographer really sucks..he is working just because of his mother stylist and dad ex photographer that introduced him into fashion world.....how can u consider this work "photography"...his style is totally anonymous...zero talent..only digital shit

[billyvassi]

fucking brilliant. Reminds me to not settle for boring models

[troopmonkey]

A Genius that captures raw emotions ... Nirvana would have been a great subject for him. Great work with the Jackass guys. All round brilliant. A minute in his shoes......? 2010 Pirelli calendar next! Bigger than Ben Hur!

[powerbookg]

What a superficial individual.

[elanmak]

he's a fucking photographer man

it's what he does

and he's one of the best

[GrungePrincesss]

Technically he is nowhere near the genius of Nick Knight, or Steven Meisel, but he's a lot of fun. Is he genius? Fuck no. Is he one of the best? No. But is he's real and his photos reflect him. And I like him.

[matprlz]

1:29 IRAK lolll

[scrapyscrapyard]

am i the only one that finds him ridiculously attractive??

[AIDSbanana]

yes?

[Spasmboy5]

No. He sleeps with a lot of models, apparently.

[jorgeab]

hey have a look! it's terry in barcelona doing wild things!

[CaralyneJane]

This man is BRILLIANT!

[Shanex36]

he is one of the most sexual person on earth

[loknloll]

he ain't using a fuckin disposable here. any of his pics you see in mags or billboards are shot with mamiya 67's or pentax mediums. or even high end digital rigs. the whole cheap snap shot thing is a hoax. plus he shoots naked which alot of my friends say makes them vomit...

not to knock his art, his pictures usually rock somewhat. but he's not what he claims to be. he's just a pervert.

[chandlerbest]

He uses digtal also now ;-)

[brikon]

that wasnt a t4 it looked more like a mf camera. he does use other cameras apart from the t4

[andremarcovic]

ridiculous

[WEGOTUPTODAY]

what camera is he using there

[velvettokyo101]

omg do you like terry richardson at all?! lol Its a Yashica t4, its the lens that really helps too, but his eye is magnificent. Just get a simply point and shoot w/a great flash.

[velvettokyo101]

the same one he always uses! Its a yashica t4

[Sidflyphotography]

he speaks the truth
