This blog is about fashion as seen through a photographer's (hopefully) critical optics. This blog is not so much about clothes, fabrics and design as of the people involved in fashion. Most photos will be self produced. The words will be written by this blogger and other people with a relevant point of view. I apologize for my English. English is not my mother tongue.

- Rie Rasmussen Vs Terry Richardson

This blog is not a news blog, but when the world famous fashion photographer Terry Richardson during the recent fashion week in Paris was confronted and called a coward by the self-conscious Danish supermodel and artist Rie Rasmussen, I think it is worth mentioning here.

Rie Rasmussen accused Terry Richardson for showing young models in a degrading manner in his photos. The confrontation toke place at a fashion event on the 8. Of March this year. According to Rie Rasmussen Terry Richardson ran out of the bar. Next day he rang to Rie Rasmussen's model agency and complained.

No doubt that Terry Richardson is working on the borderline between fashion and porn. Check out his work on the internet, or in one of his expensive Taschen books available from most major bookstores, or on his website http://www.terryrichardson.com/ and http://www.terrysdiary.com/ You are welcome to leave a message here and tell os your opinion on the phenomenon Terry Richardson!

I haven't photographed T. Richardson, but I might have taken R. Rasmussens photo at a fashion show once, but I'm not sure, and I haven't searched my archive, so no photos in this ad :(
