Nationality: American.
Style: "Amater" aesthetic, Punk aesthetic photography.
Education: Hollywood High School, Nordhoff High School.

Terry’s mum landed him a job as a photography assistant with Tony Kent, who was a well-known photographer. Through this assistant job Terry learnt how to take pictures of his surroundings and also of people. Before he knew it, he was taking pictures of some of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood. Some of them included Leonardo DiCaprio and Lindsay Lohan.

Terry is known for starring in his photographs with the people he photographs. Terry's photographs really intrigue me as they are really simple and basic but they are also very interesting at the same.

A lot of Terry's photo's have a sex appeal to them, an include a lot of models naked. His photo's are very "hipster" and suit a young audience and thats why it attracts a lot of teenage viewers. Also the fact that his photo's include famous people such as models and actresses may be the reason his photo's are so popular with a younger audience.

This photo is also very hipster and has a sex appeal to it. The reason this photo works well is because this is what a lot of people are viewing at the moment and these photo's prove popular.
