Terry Richardson: Iconic photographer uses point and shoot camera for Diesel ads, and sports illustrated spreads.

I was watching a behind the scenes special that HBO aired on the making of a sports illustrated shoot and how in the past they had used some of the top photographers. At this point I was not very familiar with photographic equipment but I knew that the equipment that Terry Richardson used did not look professional. If I’m not mistaken he had a point and shoot film Canon camera for this big editorial job and when he showed up to the set the production crew seemed amazed. So was I! I can’t picture myself doing a major gig with an amateur camera. But this opened up my eyes that there’s moe to photography than being a gear head.
