The sexual nature of Richardson's photography
has always been controversial, as has the sexualized atmosphere and activity at
his photoshoots
Richardson has been accused multiple times of
sexual exploitation of young models, including Danish model and filmmaker Rie
Rasmussen, who called his work “completely degrading to women” (Page Six
Reports) He has used photos of her in his Terryworld
book. She says, “He takes girls who are young, manipulates them to take
their clothes off and takes pictures of them they will be ashamed of. They are
too afraid to say no because their agency booked them on the job and are too
young to stand up for themselves.”
In response to these allegations, Richardson
said, "I just want to take a moment to say I’m really hurt by the recent
and false allegations of insensitivity and misconduct. I feel fortunate to work
with so many extraordinary people each and every day. I’ve always been
considerate and respectful of the people I photograph and I view what I do as a
real collaboration between myself and the people in front of the camera."
