Empowering women in the world with different body types, the Vice Terry Richardson Tons of Fun photo shoot is energetic, fun and more than a little risque. The spread will run in the next issue of Vice, and its style is reminiscent of some of Richardson's raunchier work with his usual twig-sized subjects, which include Eniko Mihalik and Kate Moss.
Richardson is famous for creating a carefree party environment on his set, and this video footage of the shoot shows all these ladies enjoying the benefits of his genius.
