Tongue Out

A Terry Richardson photo of Charlotte Free: tongue out, that familiar provocation. What gets me is the complicity. His camera makes you feel like you’re getting away with something, and maybe that’s the whole point. Free looks like she’s in on it—or maybe she’s just accepted that this is what his lens does. Either way, it sticks with you. Not because it’s beautiful. Because you can’t quite shake the feeling that you shouldn’t be looking.
