„Sometimes it seems as though I’ve waited my entire life to be photographed द्वारा Terry Richardson. With Terry, the relationship extends beyond the photograph, and if you’re really lucky he will teach आप something truly profound about yourself. I have discovered through him that ’shame’ is an obsolete notion and ’apology’ is an injustice to any performance. Perhaps it is his kind eyes behind those famous glasses, या the giggling noise he makes at 4:30 in the morning when he’s caught me in bed. Click, giggle, click, click, click, „beautiful”. To say he is a free spirit is a tremendous understatement, and to say that he (or I) make people uncomfortable, is spot on. We share these things in common. However it is unique to Terry and his subjects that there are no limitations. At all. His दिल is too wide. He makes me want to widen my own.

Terry finds beauty in the most intricate and unassuming of places. His फोटोग्राफी beckons the सवाल over and over again. Should there ever be limitations in art? Because when he captures me in a moment of such tandem artistic and human purity, I am convinced the answer is that we must push the boundaries of culture through प्यार and acceptance. There is no moment too strange, no angle unflattering, no circumstance relying on blind artifice, and never a time that I feel emberrassed या unsafe. Awakened in me is a perverse liberation, inspiring me to feel that it is okay to view yourself as hyper-human.
This is how Terry देखा गया me.

I am so real, he says, that I am unreal.”
