EX LIBRIS
A Good Long Look
Either you love him or you hate him, but you can’t say American fashion
photographer Terry Richardson isn’t fair. “I would never ask anyone to do
something that I myself wouldn’t do,” says Richardson in the introduction of his
latest book, Kibosh. And so the doors are thrown wide, wide open. Richardson,
who made himself an internationally famous enfant terrible when he turned
the world on to the meeting of celebrity, fashion, and 1970s erotica, has never
been shy about splashing his own starkly lit body across a glossy page. Kibosh,
a showcase of Richardson’s life’s work with a limited run of only 2,000 copies, is
true to his egalitarian streak. If you enjoy the naughtier, more voyeuristic, and
– perhaps – more honest side of fashion photography, you’ll enjoy Kibosh. And
you get a good, long look at his... tattoos.
