Good Ol' Terry Richardson
Those of you that follow him might like this article. NSFW

Sounds to me the person who wrote that is just mad that Terry didn't shoot her, or ask her to get naked. Hmmm, perhaps she is committing slander by calling him a rapist when he hasn't been charged with rape?
Those of you who don't know who he is, he is the highest paid photographer with an estimated combined earnings of over 58 million dollars. Yes 58 million, from taking pictures of **** stars in front of a white background.

Personally I think he's a legend, regardless of his alleged crimes. He got rich and famous off of a camera. People hate on him because they say he exploits girls? Give me a break, girls love that stuff. Do any of these people that make these accusations follow these girl's Instagrams or fan pages? They post half naked pictures everyday for attention.
He shoots pornography (art) and normal photos of world famous athletes, celebrities, and even President Obama. Give the man a break, don't like what he does? Then why the hell would you shoot with him and take your shirt off when asked? lol gtfo /rant

How do you feel about him?

I must be getting old to even utter those 2 words.On the flip side, I do not doubt that there have been aspiring (aka dumb) models who have been in a casting couch situation with terry, just to avoid being fired by their agency or being black balled.

Personally, I've always disliked his work. I just don't see any skill in it. It's simple, and maybe that's to some peoples' taste. But he doesn't do anything that makes me think that he has any talent. And to top that off, the articles I read about him being a pervert and a scumbag are abundant, so I can't say his work nor what those say about him reflect anything but negativity in my mind.
I also find that the imitators who try to emulate his work usually have no interest in learning what it truly takes to make a great image, so they find naked pin-up or hardcore girls who are willing to take their clothes off, and shoot them with a single bare flash against a white wall.
The majority of his work revolves around super attractive (often times models) and already famous people and some of those are willing to take their clothes off.
What I will give him credit for is shooting often times glamorous and famous people in simple settings. That simple white wall he loves to shoot on gives a different look to, say, Obama, rather than behind a pulpit surrounded by secret service or, say, Kate Upton on a glacier in Alaska. So I'll give him that. But I still don't see much skill in it.
Coming from my side, I don't see much of a challenge in shooting beautiful people who already know how to be beautiful in front of the camera. Especially when there isn't even any skill involved in lighting the situation. There's just nothing to it. Now, take an uncomfortable bride who's never been a model and not only make her look beautiful but make her FEEL beautiful. There's skill in that.
Clearly I'm biased.

Nothing I've read says he raped these women. They consented every time to touching/sucking/****ing his ****.
He shouldn't be whipping it out... but what the woman does after is up to her. She should leave if she doesn't want to continue with him.
He looks like a hipster douchebag

The fact is, is that if you say no to some of these higher-ups in this industry, you lose the job, or your career. People being pressured into doing stuff like this isn't right. And most models and actresses who escape the industry constantly talk about the drug abuse, pressure to be thin, to sleep with photographers and marketing department executives, etc.
Again, this isn't the first accusation about this guy.
Hipster d-bag is an appropriate title for his look.

This may or not be the case. Coercing someone into doing something may look like a choice, but can feel entirely the opposite.

Pressure doesn't mean you must do it. The industry SUCKS if you have to do such things to get in and climb the ladder. At the end of the day, nothing I've read shows he literally forced someone to have sex with him or touch his *****. People were willing to do so. That is just a fact.
If more had models just walked out, he wouldn't be the "great" photographer he is.
