Terry Richadson

Richardson, 45 years old, and a feeling that his bullying work in which the photographer himself is not averse to appear, have always been.

His unique talent - through the camera lens to catch the most unexpected moments and the reality of the fashion world - helped earn him the reputation of a controversial but brilliant photographer. His work is sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, sometimes beautiful, sometimes pornographic, but always provocative.

Since then, he has not parted with a photo. To what extent was predetermined by his profession - his father was a famous fashion photographer.



A scandalous and tender love of pornography, exhibitionism, and work in the nude due to its too radical struggle with shyness in his youth. And now he has to deal with accusations from the patterns of sexual coercion. Although often he wanted to spit on it. Let him say controversial pervert - something he is happy. And his work, of course, too.

And if the advertising industry for the most part can not afford to pay such fees (or does not see the point in it), the Hollywood stars and top magazines - no problem, and squeeze into a busy schedule of genius is not so easy.
David can not tolerate repeated loves provocative moves and epileptic brightness photos. Surrealism, grotesque, shock and irony - its main distinguishing features. What he appreciate and condemn.

The story of how the world has gained as a photographer LaChapelle, is widely known. Andy Warhol himself, having become acquainted with the employee of the cult Studio 54, David proposed to withdraw it for the magazine Interview. Now a person brand, promoted to astronomical proportions, and every star honors for happiness to work with him.

For advertising, the fashion industry, its own exhibitions and books - different genres, but always restrained by color saturation and composition. Kander prefer concise and profound ambiguity.

"This semantic richness of my photos - it is in the eye of the beholder, whether criticism or just an ordinary person looking at my pictures. The most important is that my job to ask questions. I do not answer questions. My work is not about that. It's pretty much about feelings. Dissatisfaction. I'm not trying to make people feel a certain way. Therefore, semantic richness ... I would say the value is dependent on the other. Emotion - from me ».
The Nadav Kander Advertising turns to remove about 8-10 campaigns in a year, and at least one of them will certainly falls in the list of winners of various festivals. It can be said that among the five great Kander - the ad.
