You gotta put Guy Bourdin in there as well, he was shooting this way before all of those people. Looking at certain photos by Teller and others you can see those are very influenced by his work.

everyone likes to point and shoot. i found an olympus trip in a bin with 2 rolls of new film and its been my pointy ever since. it makes perfect sense to pick up a decent pointy just because no one actually wants them anymore. charity shops and e bay have loads of good stuff. i kinda yearn for a cosina cx5 now just cos it looks so mental. the olympus xa should get a mention as well cos its a waxa..

I couldn’t make it through the article, so tech and boring. Point and shoots fit in my back pocket, so that’s why I use one. Wammy?

I’ve been shooting with a t4 for about 3 years and a t2 for 2. I love the t2′s extra controls, only drawback u can’t focus as close as with the t4. check out the olympus stylus epic. I just pick one up for $50 and I’m super happy with it, smaller that the t4, faster lens and weatherproof. Juergen Teller shot some editorials for W with them a few years ago before he switched to the contax g2.

A person like Terry Richardson developed that style of photography for himself awhile ago. He can shoot with a 15 dollar point and shoot and have the photos published in a vogue if he wanted too because thats his style but he also has the ability to bring out a different side of his subjects then most photograhpers, thats why he can do what he does.

Ricoh GR-1 is a far far far better camera than the Yashica T4,People only use the T4 because they think its cool and usually know nothing about photography.

Oh check out ryan mcginley if you like terry.

I shot the photo in the web link with a point a shoot camera.

I’m getting really serious(taking lots of pictures too and they are holding up.

“I wonder if someone like Terry Richardson could get away with anything simply because he’s cool/hip?”

Yeah I could see that…but Richardson has been doing point and shoot for quite a while. Well before the current era, that’s for sure.

Don’t count out the Ricoh GR-1 and the Nikon 35ti.

That was interesting.

However… I wonder if someone like Terry Richardson could get away with anything simply because he’s cool/hip?
