Iconic rapper A$AP Rocky recently stopped by iconic celebrity photographer Terry Richardon's Los Angeles studio to have his picture taken for Terry Richardson's popular photo-blog, terryrichardson.com. The images are extremely casual and capture the rap artist in his element as a bodacious music-loving entertainer.
Whether posing in front of enormous American flags, draped in designer chains or with a towel hanging over his shoulder, rapper A$AP Rocky looks daringly fresh. Arriving at Terry's studio just after filimg his 'Shabba' music video, A$AP Rocky poses for Terry's camera as he nonchalantly smokes a rapper-worthy weed joint.
Showing off his grills and bling, A$AP opts for making goofy faces, rather than smiling for the camera. Shot entirely in black and white film, Terry does a fantastic job highlighting the rapper lifestyle and A$AP Rocky's bodacious attitude.
