W Mag July 2010 "Lunch Break"



Whose Pretending it's the 60's this time?


So, I fell in love with this shot, which probably had more to do with Alex White's styling and the Miu Miu dresses than Terry's ... I guess it is technically a photograph, even if I don't want to call it that...

But then I saw the rest of the editorial and it was just so awful. I mean, compare it to my previous post of Peter Lindberg's work and I think it's plain to see that this editorial lacks the mood, compelling narrative and thoughful composition of Lindberg's pieces.

I realise that it's just a different style, and sometimes I really like Richardson's work - but I don't think the clothes (or models) were best flattered by this style of photography.

Tao was even in this editorial and I still don't like it. I guess it just goes to show that throwing Tao and Stam and 60s aesthetics and lolita styling together doesn't automatically win me over... I know, I'm as shocked as the rest of you! Thoughts?


That being said, this is "A really good look"

STAM looks so amazing in that first shot. And I agree that the styling is on point, seriously.
the rest carry Terry's trademark, which is one of those eitheryoulikeit or you don't styles.
