A motley crew of stars from across the Hollywood spectrum converged on the OHWOW Gallery late last month for the debut of “Terrywood,” which showcases twenty-five of Richardson’s most recent photographs, and is his first exhibit after an eight-year hiatus.

Speakeasy attended the packed art gallery on February 24, and mingled with A-listers, aspiring models and hipsters drawn to the spectacle of Richardson’s unique Hollywood vision.

The exhibit welcomed a wide range of personalities from the film, music, fashion and porn industries, like Johnny Knoxville, James Franco, Jared Leto, Tom Ford, the Hilton sisters, Pamela Anderson, Ron Jeremy and Tyler, The Creator.

Wearing his trademark, thick-rimmed aviator glasses, and a red flannel, Richardson gave a thumbs-up while posing for pictures in front of his “paparazzi machine” piece and other artworks with the likes of Ford and Knoxville, in addition to scores of admiring female fans.

Al Moran, the owner of the OHWOW Gallery, called the exhibit “an optimist view of Hollywood. Terry’s such a positive person. You can see it in the photographs.”

Richardson’s sexually-themed photos, like the strip-club sign shot of a devil- horned woman’s face hovering over the word “Nude,” and the neon-kissed silhouettes of slinking exotic dancers, were tame compared to his more provocative work, like the “Glee” spread, which one parents’ group likened to pedophilia.

A spokeswoman for Richardson didn’t return calls seeking comment.

At the opening, actor Jared Leto, Richardson’s friend, praised the photographer’s work saying “he turned his camera on the Hollywood that we all know and showed us a side that really I think has a nostalgic and deep feeling. And only he can quite do that.”

Leto defended his friend and said, “When you’re dealing with sexuality, it’s dangerous ground. Sexuality is powerful, it’s provocative and I think his work has always been brave and really honest.”

Emerging Dutch model, Jill Vessies, who has been pursuing her dream in LA for only a couple of months, said that allegations of sexual misconduct, like the ones made against Richardson, are “really common” in her industry.

Vessies added “I think it’s amazing that somebody actually dares to makes these pictures and dares to be different.”

Socialite Paris Hilton, who just wrapped a “Vogue” cover shoot with Richardson, commented on his photographs saying, “I literally want almost every piece for my house. Like, it’s so artsy, it’s so different.”

After chatting with Hilton, Speakeasy made its way through the crowded space to the back room and glanced at a photo portraying a solitary white cross, besieged by darkness on all sides of the canvas.
