The Provocative Work of Terry Richardson

November 23, 2009 from aloa's blog

Terry Richardson is one of my (if not "the") favourite photographer who's still alive. His mother - a stylist and dancer - brought him into the fashion scene, he grew up very poor. When he still was very young he had played in a punkband with the name "Doggy Style", when on tour he started photographing. You can imagine that this is a very different artist from what you know so prepare that you find some nudity, when your at work.

Terry Richardson is an international celebrity as well as one of the most prolific and compelling photographers of his generation. Known for his uncanny ability to cut to the raw essence of whomever appears before his lens, Mr. Richardson's vision is at once humorous, tragic, often beautiful, and always provocative.

Abduzeedo 2010 Light Effects in Photoshop
A few weeks ago I posted a tutorial showing how I created the new Abduzeedo's 2010 symbol, which will be used for icons, posters, t-shirts and other gears. That tutorial was about the Illustrator walk-through process and in the end there was the light effect version of the symbol that I created in Photoshop.
