# Backstage Diva Photography Terry Richardson Photographs Lady Gaga Before Her Transformation By Anne Booth | Published 2013-08-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-gaga-terry-richardson References: [terrysdiary](http://terrysdiary.com/image/59403553722) Terry Richardson is a very well-known celebrity photographer who has photographed everyone from Miley Cyrus to Lindsay Lohan. In this behind-the-scenes photoshoot, Richardson captures Lady Gaga at a more realistic angle. The photoshoot looks at Gaga rehearsing and testing out makeup, where everything looks to be in the beginning stages. It is interesting to see Gaga up close and personal, because we are used to seeing her pop star persona and the full performance, rather than the work that goes into it. We are able to look at these pictures and see Lady Gaga as a hard working performer who puts in the time and effort in order to achieve the looks and performances she is known for. Although weird, shocking and quirky, Gaga is still a person before a pop star! And as one of the photos shows, even pop stars need their moms. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Celebrity 'behind-the-scenes' Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to showcase the real, unedited lives of celebrities to the public. - **Raw and Authentic Celebrity Personalities:** Opportunity for celebrities to embrace their authentic selves and connect with fans on a personal level. - **Transparency in Entertainment Industry:** Opportunity for entertainment industry to promote transparency and authenticity in its portrayal of celebrities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Photographers can benefit from offering clients the unique service of capturing raw, behind-the-scenes moments. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment companies can benefit from representing celebrities in a more transparent and authentic way, which can lead to increased fan engagement and loyalty. - **Social Media:** Social media platforms can benefit from providing more opportunities for celebrities to share unfiltered, behind-the-scenes moments with their followers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Iconic Touring Artist Makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madonnas-makeup.md) - [Actress-Backed Handbag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag.md) - [Artist-Inspired Game Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-gaga-1.md) - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Beautifying Pre-Concert Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/break-in-case-of-glamergency.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md)
