Not your typical coffee table book,
By Jon F (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Terryworld (Hardcover)
Another great grouping of photography by Terry Richardson.The photos are very vulgar and sexual so it is not the type of book you will want laying around when your grandparents come over. If you are a fan of Terry Richardson, I definitely recommend this.

Terror-World!,

This review is from: Terryworld (Hardcover)
Terry's world might be, hell, it's MEANT to be a little scary for alot of people! Not in the sense of depicting violence or even real depravity but rather in the near-apocalypitc vulgarity with which it depicts post modern-hedonism, where sexual pleasure is about as idealized as a Tijuana donkey-show.A man, laying half-passed-out on a bed, is seen puking, Terry (who appears in many of his own photos) pulls a tampon string out of a woman's vagina with his teeth, a guy pisses into his own mouth--you get the picture. It's a garbage-world where all the turn-ons are trashy. It is strangely arousing inspite of the yuck factor, but whether that's because it's sexy or because I'm just so jaded I'm happy for anything that can jolt and shock my deadened nerves, is up for debate! Jolts and shocks are what Terryworld is all about. Terryworld is to erotica what Hustler was to Playboy. It's flat-out raunch,but with a fashion photographer's sensibility, which is to say that it does have some artistic merit beyond its novelty value, calling to mind the "provacateur" advertising campaigns of recent years, of which Terry himself has often played a part. His situation-heavy portraits are Tarantino-like movie stills from a movie I'm not sure I want to see. Which brings me to my point; In the end, after all the money's come in, all the heads have turned and all the word-of-mouth has been exhausted, what is the final value of shock? Remember when you were fourteen and looking at your stolen copy of Hustler, you felt kind of sick at the end of the ride. Your heart rate increased as you turned each page, your curiosity peaked to see the next lurid spectacle, you flipped faster and faster until finally it was over, you'd seen the whole thing--More, in fact, than your mind was capable of processing in one sitting. You were late for dinner, had a pressure headache, and a faint desire to go to church. Welcome to Terryworld. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

I really enjoyed it.,

This review is from: Terryworld (Hardcover)
when I read the reviews, Some said that they were disgusted and repulsed by the imaged in the book. I thought that it is a great book. I had some laughs while looking through it. It's not a book to leave on your coffee table when all your family is coming for Christmas dinner but we all have the one dad or brother that we can be like "DUDE, check this out!"90% of images include genitalia (That's a heads-up). I totally recommend this book if you're into creative, nude,erotic or shocking photography. Just get the book... You have nothing to lose (well, $[...] bucks.... You'll spend that at taco bell anyway)

different and fascinating,
By jenni tapanila - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Terryworld (Hardcover)
i pretty much knew what the book was like since i'd seen it in bookstores several times. i always concluded that is not for me, but time after time i kept going back to it and kept seeing Terry's photos in magazines and so finally i got it.the book then...it's huge, with a LOT of photos. i'm still not a fan of Terry but i respect his style and originality and bravery a lot. he uses a snapshot cam, and it shows. that sounds bad...and most people think upon seeing the pics 'these are snapshots! i can do this myself!'. well, think twice, it is not in fact that easy. Terry can handle the medium in a whole different way and as a photographer myself i appreciate this skill. his subject matters are however what usually turns peoples heads...the genitalia shows here and there, and it's not subtle. Terry is a part of the photos himself too sometimes, and he shows he's ready to give just as much as himself as the models. what i like specifically is the humor and brave subjects, daring to show things in a new or different way. or just really bluntly. more specifically his photos are of people, often naked and daring, posed or dressed funny. some are celebrities, others are not. the snapshot camera gives the photos a blunt 'in your face'-look and i don't think the photos are in any way manipulated, at least they look very raw and like something from a snapshot camera should. his website shoulf give you a better idea of the content. besides the photos, i think this book is worth having because it's a part of photography history, different and i'm sure he will be remembered as such. |
