  • Robert George Richardson (January 3, 1928 – December 5, 2005) was an American fashion photographer. Richardson was born in Long Island, New York, to an Irish Catholic family. Originally a graphic designer in New York City, Richardson did not pick up a camera until age 35. His rise to fashion fame was swift, although not without some battle on his part: I wanted to put reality in my photographs. Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. That's what was happening. And I was going to help make it happen. Boy they did not want that in America. Some of those editors were still wearing white gloves to couture. Richardson developed a reputation for being very difficult to work with. He brought his personal life, which was tumultuous, into his art. He battled with bouts of schizophrenia throughout his life. After making it to the top of the often catty and vicious world of fashion, getting paid up to $15,000 for a single image, he succumbed to his illness and ended up homeless on the streets of San Francisco. In 1989, an art historian researching fashion photography tracked Richardson down living in a flophouse, opening the door to Richardson's reestablishing contact with his son and eventually returning to New York City, where with the help of Richard Avedon and Steven Meisel, he was able to obtain teaching positions at International Center for Photography and the School of Visual Arts. Richardson restarted his career in his sixties, once again working for such magazines as Italian Vogue and British GQ. He was the father of photographer Terry Richardson and Margaret "Meg" Richardson (9/30/1957-5/8/2015). (en)
  • Robert George Richardson, född 3 januari 1928 i Rockville Centre, New York, död 5 december 2005 på Manhattan, var en amerikansk modefotograf som gjorde karriär på 1960-talet med sina starkt dramatiska och sexuella bilder. Förutom sex handlar hans bilder mycket om ensamhet. De fotografier Richardson tog var helt annorlunda än de städade bilderna från 1950-talets modemagasin och han kom att förändra hur man fotograferade mode. Bland annat var han den första som sade att det var okej att underexponera filmen så att kläderna inte syntes. Richardson var ökänd för att vara svår att arbeta med. Han ogillade stylister och redigerare som han tyckte var för mjäkiga och stormade ofta iväg från fotosessioner efter bråk med stylister och andra. Som tjugoettåring diagnostiserades han som schizofren och under sitt liv hade han mycket problem med alkohol och andra droger. Under 1980-talet försvann han helt från modevärlden och var en tid hemlös tills han 1989 söktes upp av , en beundrare och brittisk konsthistoriker. Efter 15 år utan att röra en kamera började han fotografera på nytt från 1990-talet och fram till sin död, 77 år gammal. Som sjuttiofemåring hade han planer att jobba med musikvideor, som dock omintetgjordes av branschens jakt på unga talanger. Bob Richardsons son Terry Richardson är också fotograf och kom under 1990-talet att bli ännu kändare än sin far, med sina likaledes sexuellt laddade bilder i en stil som har kallats "porno chic".
