A bit of both.
Uncle Terry is a disciple of the Holy Trinity; Fro, Kai and Our Father in Holy Satrimony Ken Rockwell
People trash him on here but secretly we all wanna bang the girls we shoot and get away with it
>>3079239
hack photographer, talented in bribing/coercing models into fucking him
Why isn't this POS behind bars?
>>3079336
you know why.
>>3079251
I mean the hot ones I guess, under much different circumstances. Most of the girls who actually hold is dick are sad looking used up hos. We're not all hedonists.
Most definitely not an artist by my definition.
>>3079248
fpbp
>>3079239
Kind of irrelevant now, isn't he?
>>3080391
Yeah, his moment has passed. He was synonymous with American Apparel's visual style until they fired their creep CEO and then went under. It's a bygone era.
>>3080449
>He was synonymous with American Apparel's visual style
wut?
Seriously, if you have no clue what you're talking about, just don't open your mouth. TR's aesthetic is nothing like American Apparel's.
>>3080490
except that it totally is
>>3080495
Maybe if you're visually illiterate.
There's seriously only about a third of their ads that use the whole lofi direct flash thing and even then they're a different feel from TR. Over the years, they've had around a dozen different photographic styles that while they share certain aspects are still very distinct.
Shit, you might as well call Front Magazine the same as TR if you're calling the entire corpus (or even most of it) of AA's ads the same as TR.
>>3080498
These two statements can both be true:
- AA has used a variety of styles over the years
- AA is most known for a TR-like blend of on-camera flash, white backdrops, and overtly sexualized models and poses
Front has a superficial resemblance to that style, at best.
>>3080501
>- AA is most known for a TR-like blend of on-camera flash, white backdrops, and overtly sexualized models and poses
This is only true if you reduce TR's aesthetic by stupid levels.
>>3080504
sorry, forgot the thumbs up while mugging for the camera
also the exposed dicks
>>3080507
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending either as interesting "art" (whatever that means these days). I'm just stating that there's a clear distinction between the vast majority of AA's ads and TR's work, value notwithstanding. If you can't identify that difference, you really need to study more.
>>3080504
lmao, like his aesthetic is so deep. get over yourself, fucktard.
>>3080511
no u
So fucking talented

I'm bigger than Terry Richardson
>>3083891
>my mother is a very sweet lady
tell her to post on /p/. we are all sweety men.
>>3082885
How many celebs have he slept with? I heard he sleeps with most women he photographs
>>3083913
A lot.
>>3083909
speak for yourself I sweet so little I don't even need to use antiperspirant. Regular ol deodorant works fine.
>>3083914
I'd never let this guy take a picture of me if I was president. What a meme

Either troll or ignorant. Hard to say.

Why wouldn't you?
Araki slept with all of his models apparently.
>>3083927
The point is that very few can resist a Terry Richardson dicking.

pls tell me what the loophole in female psychology is

>Araki slept with all of his models apparently.
any pdf of his?
>>3083960
Araki and TR are both hacks, so it makes sense
>>3084577
Araki is genuinely talented, but he doesn't have any quality control. Like that series of trashy softcore books featuring amateur housewives - did he even take those pictures or did he just fuck the subjects?
>>3084586
where can I find his art online?
>>3085248
Google, Tumblr.

A camera doesn't make a creep any less creepy. They call 'em GWCs for a reason.
You have a weird, regressive view of the world.
>>3088193
Those GWC's get laid tho, and that was the whole point.
>>3088196
No, they're fat dads in khakis who have shit portfolios and who have to pay every model they shoot, and who definitely don't get to fuck them.
Nobody's going to fuck you for your camera just because you have one. Everybody has a camera.
>>3088200
ok kid
>>3088177
If a camera is all it took there wouldn't be constant threads on /p/ about how to have sexy time with their models.
>>3088213
most people don't shoot nudes, and if they do of their gf or something they probably won't share it. I've seen a few guys share their gf's intimate photos and I always get embarrassed.
>21st century!! etc etc
Still they're usually not good enough to warrant the privacy break. If you're confident+have a camera you could already get the girls without it so it just makes it easier when you have a way in to invite people to intimate spaces like your studio or bedroom etc for photography. Don't know why this is hard for people to get their head around.
The loophole he's exploiting is that they think they're fucking a famous person that might, in turn, make them famous as well (think Kim K). It doesn't take more than half a brain to realise that. That's how he gets to fuck all the whores he wants for free and you don't.
>Dad was a protog, Terry was a druggo.
>Decided to turn his life around, dad helped him sort out a portfolio, went to agents as team until Terry ditched him
>turned up to shoots with a single camera, using the flash directly to make shots "gritty" and honest
>early shoot where girls had their pubes exposed on trains got him some big buzz
>helped relax his subjects by getting pissed and naked with them
>shoots are essentially coke and alcohol fueled orgies with a few cameras being passed around
>eventually getting hundreds of thousands of dollars per shoot, fucking models and celebs with ease and being the most impactful photographer in fashion.
And plebs still say not to use the little pop-up flash on your dslr.

Examine your own language: "They think". That's the key. You don't actually have to be famous. You just have to be a "photographer" and the woman has to think sleeping with you is a way for her to move up in the world.
The big trick is you do it enough times the lie becomes the truth.
>>3088622
Yes, someday, even you might be able to abuse and exploit the hopes and dreams of a beginner model in Peoria, so that you can get some fresh puccie.
>>3088224
>And plebs still say not to use the little pop-up flash on your dslr.
You shouldn't, you should be using the flash on your yashica

Speak for yourself, Sea Bass. Most of them look like struggling drug addicts doing the photoshoot to afford their fix for a week.
Guy is a genius. it's a bunch of amateur instagram photographers talking shit about him because they think they are the shit for buying a starter studio kit on ebay. Worst kind of photographers honestly
>>3091004
To add, most people don't even know about his high fashion/commercial work because guy literally doesn't give a fuck and upload fuck ton of snapshots and behind the scene stuff

He made a career off a recognisable aesthetic praised by norms. Thoughtless, crude and recognisable.
>>3083927
In all honesty, this was probably one of the biggest gafs in an otherwise uber calculated presidency. Every fucking moment of his public image was so impeccably controlled, I can't believe he let this happen.
>>3091110
he wasnt just walking near the studio though, it was a magazine shot
>>3092049
"legit"
>>3092049
because i reported them :^)
>>3083914
YOU JUST KNOW
>>3079239
His actual high end fashion work is much, much better than his Terry's world porn bullshit.
However, his high end fashion stuff isn't that great. His defenders are delusional. People hate him irrationally, so those who defend him go to the other extreme and act like he's fucking god.
He's just a decent photographer who networks incredibly well and sells his image well.
>>3091384
.....and? The point is that it was a bad decision.
>>3083913
A lot, but he's also shot and fucked a few traps too. That's not really my thing.
He's at an extreme end of an axis all for himself.
So it's only fitting that this site's photography board calls him Uncle Terry, alongside the other Uncles (whom someone else shall list for us).
How did he get so popular?
All his celeb photographs are just them standing in front of a white wall with the camera flash on, and sometimes an instagram-tier filter. Shit, if that's all that's needed to get to fuck super hot women then sign me the fuck up.
>>3093185
His dad was a big-name fashion photographer before him. Terry had a big headstart because of that, and he happened to embody a sort of pervy hipster hedonism that was relevant at the moment he was coming into his own.
>>3094502
His dad also had a massive penis, like father like son,
he's an uninteresting hack who has been lucky enough to photograph some really interesting people, and fuck some really interesting people. his photos are ok at best. his subjects are the only thing that are slightly worthy of any attention.
Dude comes off as a total cunt in the Odd Future Oldie music video.
