Terry Richardson Fizzes With Pop Water, Scott Stringer & David Webb
/My least favorite photographer Terry Richardson does get around. The 47-year-old photographer posted a snap of the Mr. Thumbs up with Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer. They do look like the Odd Couple, and Mr. Stringer might not be so thrilled at his Google Image search file when Terry gets gone with him.
You would think Stringer’s press secretary would know better. But that’s just the connection. Richardson is bedding Stringer’s press person, 25-year-old Audrey Gelman. I’m all for promoting the careers of ambitious young women but whoa!
Richardson is busy with a new venture Pop Water fizzy drinks, funded by pal Lady Gaga’s manager Troy Carter. The new beverage will be marketed as a healthier alternative to sugary soft drinks — an 11.2 oz can will contain 30 calories and 7 grams of sugar. Initial flavors will include apple, orange, pineapple and grape.
I’m not the only one to suggest that Kate Upton never let Terry Richardson near her again with a camera. When you take a look at Kate in Steven Meisel’s new editorial for Vogue Italia, you understand that those of us who question Richardson’s lens skills are just pulling white rabbits out of the hat.
It isn’t just that Terry Richardson is a true grit pornographer at heart. It’s that he can’t transition into beneath the surface sensuality and eroticism. He doesn’t feel the sensual intimacy vibe and can’t express it visually in women — ever.
Meisel, on the other hand, and Miguel Reveriego in the July issue of Vogue Spain capture Upton’s inner femme.
Below is a belated post of Eniko Mihalik and Richardson appearing together in David Webb’s fall campaign. Richardson shot the campaign with styling by Lori Goldstein in New York City.
