Terry Richardson is my favorite photographer, so I’m totally stoked that he launched his new blog. Terry’s Diary shows shots of models, behind the scenes candid party shots and personal photos (like the one of his mom with a bottle of beer in one hand and flipping the bird with the other).
Often the photographer is shown photographing himself. As Richardson fans know, he is never afraid of a cameo. Richardson’s unique and interesting style is completely on display in ways we were not privy to before. Glad he is on both sides of the lens.
