In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse scandal, an infamous photographer dogged for years by similar claims is also feeling the consequences.
Terry Richardson has worked with a long list of celebrities and models for several iconic publications and advertising campaigns for major fashion brands.
Since 2001 however, allegations of sexual misconduct have begun to mount against the New York-born 52-year-old - which he has somewhat confessed to.
Richardson has been accused of making his models strip nude and getting naked himself unnecessarily in a number of shoots, as well as physically touching models without warning in a sexual manner, and offering work in exchange for sexual favours.
Richardson's behaviour makes Weinstein "look like Bambi", a studio insider told UK tabloid The Sun.
His spokesperson confirmed to The Telegraph he has interacted sexually with many models, but insists it was always consensual.
"He is an artist who has been known for his sexually explicit work so many of his professional interactions with subjects were sexual and explicit in nature, but all of the subjects of his work participated consensually."
Media company Conde Nast International has severed ties with Richardson, saying "sexual harassment of any kind is unacceptable and should not be tolerated".
Conde Nast has published his photos in Glamour, GQ, Vanity Fair, Vogue and more.
Over the course of his career, he's worked with the likes of Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss, Kylie Jenner, Jessica Alba, January Jones, Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan and Cindy Crawford.
