Why is this fucker famous? All his photos are basic as fuck and shit.
Because he breaks down the celebrity persona and gets them to act fucking goofy and do stuff they wouldn't otherwise.
Duh.
He also has extremely competent but totally boring editorial work.

Art compounds, sure what he does doesn't look spectacular but it's easy to forget it wouldn't exist without him.
He's basically like Andy Warhol, none of his art is technically amazing but he created as tyle we know of today.

>thinks that all uncle terry shoots is his terry's world bullshit
It's okay to hate a photographer, but hate him for what he really does, not just a small, silly side project of his.
His meme photo style caught on. That's about it
>Why is he famous
Because he's not just a photographer, he's a personality, he's been in multiple scandals regarding sexual misconduct and he looks very distinct, also he takes pictures of himself next to everyone he photographs, he made himself a celebrity
>Why are his photos famous
He's been doing headshots for a long time and has a lot of connections to publications from how long he's been working, he's also sought after for work at this point because attaching his name to the cover of a magazine featuring a celebrity will get more attention.
If you ask someone who knows nothing about photography to name ONE famous photographer, they usually will say Terry Richardson because that's all they know of
>>2936451
So he's only famous cause of his connection?
>>2936454
Yes. He's average at everything but since he knew the right people he became a big deal
He's boring to me
>>2936454
Welcome to the real world.

Normies don't know Bailey
>>2936451

>Why is this fucker famous
youre not famous, fuck off
>>2936454
Most people are only famous or successful because of their connections.
He fucking sucks. The photographer equivalent of painters who paint solid color or Pollock style paintings.
Its all complete shit praised by absolute faggots who think they "get it"
He is also ugly, creepy, and has an incredibly punchable face
>>2936653
woah, calm down.
>>2936504
>Normies
Oh. I thought you said someone, not a teenager on facebook.
>take camera to work
>photo something
>"who the fuck are you? David Bailey?"
>"who's he?" I reply
