100 Terry Richardson Photoshoots

There's something special about Terry Richardson photoshoots that makes them stand out among the rest -- a combination of gritty honesty and glamorous fantasy that creates unforgettable depictions of public figures and real-life subjects.

Known for his ability to capture celebrities at their most vulnerable, and in wickedly hilarious candid moments, Richardson made a name for himself in the underground scene and has now become a household name. His memorable Vice magazine shoots are what first caught my eye, but I'd have to say that his work with Amy Winehouse and Lady Gaga are my all-time favorite shoots. Richardson has proved himself as one of the greatest modern American photographers, with his work featured in everything from Harper's Bazaar to Penthouse Magazine.
