Candice Swanepoel by Terry Richardson for US Harpers Bazaar

It seems like it is a Terry Richardson kind of week. A bunch of his shoots are coming out now (like that Gwyneth Paltrow one yesterday for US Harpers) and now here is another one for US Harpers Bazaar - like this whole issue was shot by Mr TR. Except that this one features onse very own South African Angel model, Candice Swanepoel. In a variety of sexy sports poses.
So, no marks for originality of concept on this one then. Nor do we deviate from the Terry Richardson formula of white walls, sketchy lighting and sex implication throughout.
Labels in this shoot include Stella McCartney, Lanvin, Michael Kors and Calvin Klein. Not unlike Candice's last sports shoot. Except of course this one is cleaner looking, but even more filthy in intent.
Styling has been done by Brana Wolf and does the trick. You know. It's fine. No surprises here.


Are we over these kinds of shoots? I mean Candice is a beautiful girl and we are beyond proud of her and her achievements. I just want a bit more from it all now. Something beyond pretty girl looking sexy. I guess I am just over Terry Richardson. How about you?
