It seems so easy to take photos like Terry Richardson.
But what's his secret? Can't anyone have a point and shoot and light?

vaxorcist - 11k for a light? ffs you can buy a new car for thatscarabin
- it's more of a status symbol.... like some cars.... rent it(!) cheaper than a 'Blad HD40 though!vaxorcist
- I just got some serious sticker shock.CyBrainX
- that's a 5ft briese. the broncolor is 11ft in diameter...JG_LB

The secret is his penis.

His secret is how he defined that as a photographic style.
Also, it is not just the technique but rather the subject matter that he portrays them in.
Owes pretty much everything to Vice.
- Didn't hurt to have a semi-famous, crazy father that worked in the industry.Jacque
- That is also true.2002
- owes everything to vice? you're kidding, right? terry was doing that shit long before vice was arounddoesnotexist
- That is true but vice put him on the map.2002
- not really.doesnotexist
- Umm yah.2002
- Disagree about Vice. He was on the map before that.babaganush

Interesting question. For compositions that seem so bare and without fuss, they're so distinctive.

- dammit. i had one of those. loved it. my wife dropped in in a tide poolspendogg
- i have one still. bought it before it was all the rage. a great little camera, good lens.prophetone

why not shoot and define your own style instead of trying to mimic someone elses? Theres an idea.

I was just looking over the selects from a shoot we did with Terry a few weeks ago. He used more than a polaroid. Alas, I wasn't at this shoot to see what he used.
- tell us more... interesting...vaxorcist
- Terry shot our campaign last year and this year. it'll roll out Jan 1.bulletfactory
- what was his hit rate? i.e. did he give you 10 pix for every 1 finally printed?vaxorcist
- We had a huge stack of images for each of our 8 setups, and chose selects from that pool. we will own 1 select for each setbulletfactory

There are millions of clips uploaded to youtube per day and very few of those people can call themselves filmmakers.
Easy-looking shit takes practice. In his case ability to put those models at such easy so they simply go with it (whatever it would really be...).

he has a great an eye, and it goes to prove it doesn't matter what camera you use to create an image
- even though the camera totally matters, it matters very little.ben_

Its funny to see how much his style has been copied in the last years and still is today. Every company try to be cool with Terry Richardson's style ads.

yes..... and in a couple of years, it will be as old hat as the ringlight look of 2003 or whenever that was....
- i still like ringlight lighting. just not on everything.capn_ron
- his style is about the content. how will the content get old all the sudden?pr2
- exactly. terry will always be fresh.doesnotexist
- content grows stale too. someday we'll all be tired of debaucherous models and their pubes and puritans will take over the earth.snarl

It's not just the equipment. Styling (hair, makeup, wardrobe) goes a long way,.

Slimane seems got more (lighting) skills then Terry. I love his still lifes (man that black candle!). Anyone know his gears & setups? But Terry, hes so fun & damn his ability to make his models suck him off lol. So whats his rate?
