After a 14 Year “Ban” Terry Richardson Back to Shooting for W

This writer figures that we’re all adults here and you can make up your own minds about regularly-controversial photographer Terry Richardson.
So feel free to take it as either the turning of a new leaf or the disintegration of principles with the news that, after a ban of nearly a decade and a half, Richardson is shooting again for W. With a big batch of job shifting going on at the magazine recently (mostly out the door) due to new editor Stefano Tonchi running the ship, the photographer has a bulky spread in their July issue, called ” Lunch Break.”
As New York‘s fashion blog reports, this follows the magazine refusing to hire him since 1996 when then-art director Dennis Freeman“reportedly banned Richardson from his pages after taking offense to a photo the photographer took of a model with her head in the oven.”
