Terry Richardson

So recently i have been busy writing an essay on a photographer that inspires me for this i decided to choose Terry Richardson as he has been in the news recently because the controversy with Miley Cyrus and her video and images which he directed and took. I also chose him as i love his work but i have never really known a lot about his personal life etc. So after doing research i learnt he is actually quite a strange but simple man when it comes to photography. He is strange in the sense he makes every image provocative but simple as in he uses plain backgrounds instead of all these fancy backdrops like most photographers. 

To go along with the essay i had to recreate an image in the style of his below is the image i chose to recreate:


I recreated this image as i found it one of his most eye catching and different images as it isn't provocative but it stands out among the rest because of the use of hand gestures.

Below is my recreation of this image:

As you can see the image is similar but different i wanted to recreate it but not entirely copy his image this is why i decided to shoot my image landscape and crop it close to the models upper half.
