Photography Research- Terry Richardson

Similar to Vauthier, Terry Richardson captures effortless beauty within his work, using the same stark and bold style that is honest to the camera. Although this style can create fairly unforgiving images of models, Richardson has captured some of the most famous people in the world, from President Barack Obama to London based model Ash Stymest, all done with the same style, beauty and eloquence. I feel this proves that i could capture his style with my limitations (as i have access to a studio with a white screen and a slr digital camera), however i do feel i need to play around and do some test shots with my chosen models and see whether or not the stark lighting is really that unforgiving.
Richardson also regularly works with magazines such as Dazed & Confused and i-D to produce cover page images, both of these magazines i have taken an interest in and analysed as style models for my own magazine and use the simplistic and minimalistic conventions i wish to use on my own magazine.
Richardson also uses a greyscale/mono-tonal style in some of his work, i feel he is the perfect photographer to use as an inspiration for my own images & magazine style as he is different to Klein, he works with today's technology to produce his photgraphs and edit them and i am therefore confident that this is a style i could incorporate into my own work.

Examples of Terry Richardson's work:

 Richardson pulls off this grey scale/mono-tonal style brilliantly, the images are sharp, clear and bold. the grey scale set and costume helps this and i would like to dress my models like this to create the best image possible.

                                     

                                     
 I love these images of Agyness Deyn in front of the brick wall, they are energetic and full of life, i want to incorporate this style into my work and bring fun and excitement to my magazine to make it stand out above all others with this edge.
