Terry Richardson photography

I've only just discovered this geezer...I mean...like....JUST NOW, 30 seconds before writing this, and already I'm in a "love/hate" state of mind with him.
This guy seems like a well respected photographer, after taking picture for LOADS of famous people INCLUDING OBAMA!
Yet...his pictures don't seem like nothing spesh....yet....I LOVE THEM!!!! Is that how amazing he is?
