Uncle Terry： The Photographer from Hell

Terry Richardson had a long list of celebrity connections that helped propel his fashion photography career in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Collaborating with celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, and Jared Leto, he was able to uphold his reputation as a trustworthy professional photographer. However, a dark cloud of predation follows him around for good reason. Up until rather recently, his alleged exploitation and assault left a permanent stain on his legacy. Characterized by the white background and direct flash photography style, one can spot an “Uncle Terry” photo with ease.
