Smokey Starlet Candids

The Rihanna Outtakes by Terry Richardson are Conflicted

The Rihanna outtakes from the Ferbruary 2013 issue of Rolling Stone are seductive and display the Bahamian beauty up in smoke.

Photographer Terry Richardson has a knack for loosening up celebrities and presenting them in a natural and candid light. He is respected in the industry and above all is a trusted compatriot. The outtakes of Rihanna he captured are more risque and thus, the reason they were rejected from the final print of the magazine. The shots present Rihanna in two states. The first being an innocent and endearing look at her natural beauty and the other, her smoking up a storm. The latter shots are hazy and imply Rihanna isn't afraid to cut loose.

The Rihanna outtakes by Terry Richardson are intimate, conflicting and shed light on a young conflicted starlet.
