An intimate and autobiographical publication, this volume presents a selection of photographs from the personal archive of Terry Richardson offering a rare glimpse into the formative years that preceded his rise within fashion photography.
Published in 2004 by Purple as a supplement to Purple Fashion magazine, the book departs from Richardson’s later high-gloss aesthetic to focus instead on vernacular imagery. The photographs trace his American childhood, adolescence, and early working life, revealing a more unguarded and introspective dimension of his practice.
Marked by immediacy and rawness, these images foreground everyday moments, personal environments, and social encounters that would later inform his visual language. The sequencing emphasizes intimacy and subjectivity, positioning the work closer to diary or snapshot archive than to conventional editorial photography.
Modest in scale yet significant in content, the publication functions as both personal document and contextual key illuminating the experiential foundations of Richardson’s later output.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
