In 2002, the political and artistic sex publication, 'Richardson magazine,' ended with a bang. Back in the day, with photographers like Terry Richardson and Mario Sorrenti gracing its pages, Richardson magazine was more than a sex magazine.

This time around, the magazine is making a comeback and is still committed to its political and honest agenda. Issue A4 looks at the female gaze in an antagonistic and unapologetic way with features from the likes of Amy Kellner and Sasha Grey.
