Photographer OBSSESSION: Terry Richardson

Terry Richardson with Jared Leto.

Terry Richardson is an international celebrity as well as one of the most prolific and compelling photographers of his generation. Known for his uncanny ability to cut to the raw essence of whomever appears before his lens, Mr. Richardson's vision is at once humorous, tragic, often beautiful, and always provocative.

The New York native has shot for major fashion magazines, French Vogue & Harper's Bazaar. And let's not forget all the celebrities, models & designers he has shot too: Tom Ford, Karl Lagerfeld, Jay Z, Jared Leto (pictured above) & Kate Moss to name a few.

My favourite photographs are the ones where Terry has his subject put on his glasses & imitate him.
