Regarding the ongoing Terry Richardson drama, I really needed to finally sound off on this profoundly distasteful matter. You should know, that I waited till what I felt was enough corroborating evidence\u00a0to come in before stating my viewpoint, as I have always given the benefit of the doubt before passing judgement. \u00a0If you are not familiar with the on going story behind the Terry Richardson scandal, just Google Terry Richardson<\/a> and that should get you up to speed on what it is I am talking about. Nonetheless here it goes.<\/span><\/p>\n

First off, what I find incredible is that nothing of any consequence has been done to stop “his” predatory behaviour. In any other business and in most cases, there would be charges filed against him and he would have to answer to a court of law. But as most people in my industry are followers and don’t have the intestinal fortitude to do anything about his actions, there is a discomforting silence that exists. Up until this juncture in time Terry Richardson goes on with very little to no legal challenges of consequence for his actions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now try to put yourself in the shoes of the model. In most cases between 15-20 years old. They want to succeed in this highly competitive marketplace. They are easily influenced by image and the lure of fame. Most have come from environments that give zero advice regarding the metier and if they do get advice in general it is inconsequential. They are told that they have a casting with a very highly regarded photographer. Perhaps they are\u00a0told that he is a bit quirky, but don’t worry about it, as he is quite harmless.<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u00a0show up at the studio and in due course are told to disrobe and bare their\u00a0breasts. In most cases they\u00a0do so, because if they don’t they are considered “uncool”. One thing leads to another and the rest is history. In fear of never working again, the model goes home in silence, like rape victims often do and say nothing. They don’t want any problems and chalk it up to a bitter experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a Father, if any of those girls (who could easily be the age of my daughters) were coerced in to what has been so vehemently claimed by so many, this repugnant example of humanity would not be able to lift a disposable cardboard camera let alone a point and shoot. (As\u00a0he would be too ashamed\u00a0to use it again)<\/em>. Consent is one thing, but using false pretence to coerce his prey must be dealt with harshly and NOW! \u00a0Look Terry, if you want to do porn, do porn. But call it for what it is and don’t use the Fashion Industry as a pretext to add credibility to what you are doing. Fashion is a reflection of society at large and society at large is not a cesspool. The Buck Must Stop Here!<\/span><\/p>\n
