Terry Richardson exploits and adventures...

Fashion photographer Terry Richardson has come under fire for sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, and being a perv.  Model Rie Rammussen claimed he takes advantage of young girls and model Jamie Peck wrote of how he propositioned her for a hand job. 

Quite frankly, a lot of male photographers are pervy.  Sometimes it seems like male photographers are only photographers because it gives them an excuse to get girls naked and into compromising positions.  Richardson's perv nature is pretty clear if you look at his diary or work.  I'd say he's up there with Dov Charney on the perv scale.  Evidence:  he loves thumbs up, thumb sucking, nudity, and wears nothing but plaid into his mid 40's.  I bet he loves high fives too...It's weird because Richardson and Charney make being a perv look cool.  It's a thin line...

I'm not really sure what to think about all of this.  Peck's story is a bit ridiculous.  I can't tell if she was slightly into it, just being a fame whore, or actually ashamed.  Frankly, I think she should explore her kinky side in a safe environment with someone she trusts...The creative process with a photographer can be untraditional, as is Richardson's.  Overall, potential or current models should take wary of working with photographers they feel sketched out by, always have a consent/ release form, and be vocal about what they feel comfortable with.  There's power in choice and power in voice.

Here's a good article from the Guardian.
