b.1965, New York, USA
Terry Richardson's has been one of the more easily identifiable, controversial and emulated oeuvres in contemporary photography, ever since his first published reportages in the 1990s.

Singh lived and worked in London, Paris and New York but made his best known work in his homeland. Over thirty years he strove to capture India and the infinite richness and variety of its people, places and customs.
In 1985 he was appointed the first Bradford Fellow in Photography. As well as presenting some of Singh’s finest work from India, this exhibition also includes a selection of his photographs taken in Bradford.

That is how you are judged in the magazine business, by how many copies an image can move on the newsstand.
