I'm not trying to say that all photographers are bad, just trying to highlight some of them that are taking advantage of their position to focus on taking nude pictures of 18 year old girls. Just compare that to say professional athletes. When a famous quarterback gets accused of inappropriate behaviour, fines by the league, public disgrace and outrage. If a fashion photographer persistently photographs young girls naked, he gets called cool. It seems like an abuse of power to me and that never ends well. Let's get the sleaze out!
Eric Guillemain - Kinda Sleazy?
Check this guy out. Just about every shoot he does has his model topless or barely clothed. No big deal right except how young looking his models are!!
In this shoot of Siri Tollerod supposedly she was 18 but looks like a little girl. And NAKED. Freaky!!!
Or how about Tanya Dziahileva. Again 18 years old, again no clothes to be seen. Or here. I guess fishnet counts as clothes??
Then there's Marike Le Roux. She was born in 1991 and that shoot? 2009. Do the math - that makes her barely 18 if not younger. What happened to the clothes part of fashion photography? Would you think twice before working with this guy?
So sleazy photographer? - Young girls, new to modelling, no clothes - I guess so!
I've updated the page for Eric. Doesn't his work creep you out?
Terry Richardson - Very Sleazy?
Looks like Terry Richardson really sets the standard for sleazy. He takes pictures of naked girls WHILE HE'S NAKED!! It's just way too easy for an older, established photographer that has the legitimacy of the fashion industry to take advantage of young girls trying to make it as a model. How far does it go?
Here's a link to a list of top 5 most controversial fashion photographers. Some for political reasons but Terry Richardson and Guy Bourdin for their overly sexualized images.
So Glee has got in on the act. They have just done a photoshoot for GQ with teenagers in underwear. Nice work Terry Richardson. Is it now just about the publicity or getting your rocks off? Fashion photography to porn photography.
