Terry Richardson is famous for taking photos of celebrities against a white background. Well, that and his glasses, checkered shirt and maybe a sex abuse case here and there. Tyler, the Creator on the other hand is famous for his 5-panel caps, cut off shorts and lyrics about sex abuse. Sounds like a decent match….
For an upcoming issue of VMan – the magazine which the likes of Kanye West, Ashton Kutcher and most recently James Franco have graced the cover of – Richardson shot Mr Okonma and friends and as always (see previous shoot for Vice Magazine), ended up with some classic snaps of the Odd Future frontman. As well as his usual candid format, some of the inevitable “here’s what this celebrity would look like as me and vice versa” shots are also included, probably just for Terry’s Tumblr.
You can see a selection of my personal favourite shots below, along with a behind the scenes look at what went down at the photoshoot in LA. All of the afore mentioned snaps and videos can be seen on TerrysDiary.com
