Terry Richardson: A master of pop art, or just sleazy?
From those NSFW photos on his blog to her recent cover for Harper’s Bazaar, Richardson is publicly documenting the shedding of Miley’s Hannah Montana persona. When questioned by Canada’s Fashion magazine about their frequent collaboration, Miley said that Richardson was the perfect choice to shoot her ‘Wrecking Ball’ video, as “he’s about capturing strength versus beauty. His women look so strong in his images.”
Yet this is a man who, when asked the best way to break into modelling, said “it’s not who you know, it’s who you blow. I don’t have a hole in my jeans for nothing.” Although known for the highly sexualised context of his work, controversy has engulfed the 48-year-old in recent years. In March 2010, the New York Post reported that the Danish supermodel, Rie Rassmussen, confronted Richardson at a Paris fashion event over his ‘degrading’ treatment of women.
