Over the weekend Terry Richardson spoke out on his blog about the recent heat he’s gotten from female models he has worked with, saying, “I just want to take a moment to say I’m really hurt by the recent and false allegations of insensitivity and misconduct.

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. To everyone who has embraced and supported me and my work, I am so grateful. Thank you, it means a lot.” [Fashionologie]
