A bio on his website can be viewed here. Ground 21:19, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I would say from examination of his website that this person is not that notable. AfD, Move for Speedy deletion. 70.5.157.105 05:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. Although I am not much of a fan of his work, I would say that he is a significant contemporary photographer. See external references here, here and here (be warned that the last link includes a photo of his featuring nudity). I would describe him as being somewhat in the vein of Larry Clark, with a tendency towards fashion photography. Cuffeparade 19:01, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

a) he's definitely notable unsigned person. b) I'm unsure of whether to mention his "porn" site http://www.richardsonmag.com/. I think it could be useful for placing his work in context but i'm pretty sure wikipedia has a no +18 website policy. Any editors have any thoughts on this? 3tmx 23:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

If it is an official website of Richardsons, I think it should be included, although if there is significant nudity or 'adult content', we might want to include a warning with the link. Cuffeparade 05:11, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I have added the link with warning. I have consulted WP:EL and cannot see any issues. 3tmx 16:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


Richardson Magazine is NOT ASSOCIATED IN ANY WAY with Terry Richardson. (The magazine is run by Andrew Richardson, not related). Terry Richardson once did a photo essay in Richardson Magazine. There should NOT be a link to this magazine, and it shouldn't be called "(Terry) Richardson's magazine". Kiwwik 02:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


reverted edit by Abouricheh as A) "talented and gifted" is subjective, not encyclopedic b) it sounds like an advert for boom boom productions c) Richardson has directed a number of videos for more notable bands that are not listed here
